Lately I barely photographed foods I cooked or baked. It is because the spot where was, now taken over by our big bed (we move our bedroom to the living room and vice versa). I still can build another studio in the new living room if only there are no couch, sofa bed and single bed (where we used to sleep - can you imagine two adults sleeping in a 90x100cm bed?) there. Besides, after two weeks hospitalized in Canon Service Center, my camera looks like brand new and I need time to get use to it (means: I am just lazy).
This butter cookies was photographed on August 19th, 2008, one day after making. It was late in the afternoon when I suddenly like baking. I checked since I knew she has some easy and simple baking recipe that I've put my eyes on it.
At first I wanted to make half recipe since I didn't want to complete the cookies alone (my hubby is not a cookie eater), but then I made one recipe since cookies can be stored for such period. I was glad that I didn't make it half, since my better half like it very much, even we fought over who's eating more.
At the time I baked this cookie, I run out butter, so I mixed it with margarine. Instead of forming the cookie with cookie cutter (just don't like to roll the dough), I balled up the dough and pressed it with the fork. It was fun!
