Panda Cookies

It's been quite some time I've bake cute cookies for my kids! Too cute too be eaten? Neh....they so happily munching off the cookies at high speed hahaha...No special flavouring was added to this batch of butter cookies. I just used a better quality danish salted butter and it is indeed very very fragrant during the baking process!! Luckily I chosen a good recipe for this cut-out cookies as the stamping of the panda features took me quite some time! While meddling with the cookie dough, I did not even require to chill them to firm them up. The dough maintained pliable and non-sticky throughout my repeating kneading and rolling out process :D Though is quite cumbersome to stamp out the individual panda patterns, I'm delighted they turned out beautifully cute and of course yummylicous too! ^.*

Love these! Do you bake the white and black cookies separately and then join them together or are they put together first and then baked?

Peng said...

You have to assembled them together before baking, this way the layers will be able to stick together.
