Hi

When Christmas is drawing near, I could experience emotions of thankfulness, gratefulness and happiness as it's always associated with love and joy.  I'm just wondering do you have the same feeling as me?

Christmas is one of the wonderful times for family and friends gatherings.  When the transformation of Christmas seasons is drawing near, I’m so glad that my 2 grown-up boys are reminded about family getaway.  

My family will usually spend few days away from Singapore; away from our usual routine. If there’s no plan to travel far, we’ll usually drive up to our favourite destination - Kuala Lumpur or Malacca.  The purpose is not to shop for Christmas or New Year.  The boys know it well that this is the time of the year that we come together to count our blessings and take stock of our lives and also to recap the happenings – good and bad, in 2013.

Look at these beautiful cookies!


This year’s Christmas is very special to me because baking and cooking have become my hobby and it has also been put to good cause.  For the last 2 weeks, I've been baking cookies along with other fellow sisters for the old folks in our church dialect group.

Baking together is another form of gathering too.  Gather to discuss the recipe and bake together.  It’s not only contributing to good cause but also enhances, develop and nurture friendships too.
I’d like to recommend this recipe to you.  The recipe for this charity cookie is deprived by Lay Choo and we modified further to suit the old folks.

 Hope you'll like this simple but yet yummy cookies!
This Christmas, let us reap friendships through 
these hearty cookies. 

INGREDIENTS

250g       Salted butter
100g       Caster sugar
360g       Plain flour
Hundreds of ready-made red hearts make from icing sugar OR M&M chocolates.

(2)Beat butter and caster sugar using handheld mixer and beat until it’s fluffy and creamy.
