“Nuts cookies” – our FUN summer with friends!


Still not so much of baking or cooking here, trying to cook as simple as possible due to avoid heat in the kitchen.

My son and hubby are wondering when mommy will do baking again or at least provide something sweet on the table. Poor thing! Oh well… now, here I am spending little time in the kitchen making these NUTS COOKIES. It surprises me as these cookies are so easy to make and it doesn’t take long time to make them either.

NUTS COOKIES
Adopted from LISA

250 gram flour
250 gram cooked nuts (grounded)
150 gram confectioner sugar
¼ tsp salt
1 cup cooking oil (approximately, used little bit less than a cup)

2 yolks
Cooked nuts (cut in a half)

Direction:

Place flour, confectioner sugar, grounded nuts and salt in a bowl then mix them together. Add slowly cooking oil and mixture it with your hand until the entire ingredient blended well. In this case you might need to reduce or increase the amount of cooking oil.

Roll out the dough to ½ inches thick. Stamp out shapes such as flower and stars with cutters. Place the shapes on the prepared cookie sheets. Brush shapes with egg yolks and place half nut on the top. Then bake at 350F for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Last week our beloved friend was going to Niagara Fall and stopped by to the town for two nights to visit us. That was our first meeting in person. I pictured her as a friendly and smart lady, there she is! Her two lovely daughters were so great playing with my son. They were laughing, fighting for the toys and giggling. Just so fun to watch them playing in their own world.

Soon my hubby got time to join us; we went canoing at the Lagoon which it is part of Lake Erie. I was so glad that the weather was gorgeous considering in last couples of days before; Erie was raining most the time. While husbands and kids were canoing, Titi and I sat down on the picnic table and have fun talking about anything. She is so humble, smart and fun to be with.

What a wonderful family! Such a pleasure to meet you guys. Hope we will meet again in God’s plan. Then next time hopefully I am able to entertain with my homemade delish food and dessert. We are so sorry, due to the busy schedule between hubby and I it seemed not happened this time. Enjoy your summer dear.

Readers – also don’t forget about this FOODIE EVENT to celebrate our independence day. More update of prizes and judge you might find HERE.
