[Food & Recipe] Oat Cookies [Love of My Life] Unwell

Assalamualaikum.
Peace be upon you.

It's been a while (again).

Hemm... the following two weeks after cuti sekolah, husband and the boys took turn tak sihat. Fever, batuk and selsema. Numerous trips to clinic with the boys, and days of MC. And finally Ummi caught the bug too. On one of those my unwell days, I texted husband to come back early coz I really need to lie down and sleep. Mine was not of so much fever, but throbbing headache and nausea.

 

And Alhamdulillah, Kakak and Adam si Budak Benyek Benyek got good results for their Fasa 1 exams. Ah Boy showed improvements and naik kelas. I had so much worries (I am a mother, worrying is one of my daily tasks hehe) that he can't take the heat. True that, the first day in new class, he came back with loads of homework and loads of catching up to do. Mak nya kena la support him during the transition and help him with his homework and see him do extra exercises for him to catch up.

 

Well, that explain the hiatus.

Alhamdulillah, now everyone is back on their feet. Except for husband who still has a bit of coughing. And Alhamdulillah, Ah Boy is catching up and adjusting.

Anyway.

Adam, my benyek-benyek boy, of late, is cultivating creativity. The other day, he made us went to Midvalley coz he needed to get Elmer's glue and borax for his slime project. Days prior to that, he went checking my baking supplies and insisted to do some dough-y thingy using corn-starch. Of course Ummi had to do the cleaning afterwards.

And last Sunday, he decided we needed to bake some oat-based cookies.

Sebab Adam nak makan cookies oat.

Banyak cantik. Dia ingat pling pling pling magic wand terus jadi cookies kot. Thinking that I'd better utilise the time while I am still on long leave.. why not? Makanya, menjadilah projek oat cookies nya. Of course he was very busy helping out.

Nak! Nak! Nak! Nak tuang!
Nak! Nak! Nak! Nak kacau! Nak kacau!

Nak! Nak! Nak! Nak cedok!
Nak! Nak! Nak! Nak buat! Nak buat!
Nak! Nak! Nak! Nak letak dalam oven!

He didn't want some ingredients such as raisin and hazelnut (Dalam resepi asal) Thank Godness, sebab dedua bahan tu memang takde kat rumah. I tried to persuade him to add some dried cranberries. Declined. Just oat, he said.

 

Fine.

 

 

Recipe taken from this book that I bought way back in 2010. Baru test dua resepi kot from this book. Sebenarnya saya tak berapa rajin nak buat cookies coz of the leceh-ness. Nak terap or nak kena shape kan. Unlike cakes, boleh tuang je semua into baking pan.

 

After tweaking it, here's the recipe that we did..

 

Ingredients

[1]   225 gm mentega

[2]   140 gm gula castor

[3]   Secubit garam

[4]   1 biji kuning telur

[5]   225 gm tepung

[6]   50 gm oat

[7]   1 sudu teh esen vanilla

 

 - Dalam sebuah mangkuk, campurkan mentega, gula castor, garam dan esen vanilla. Gaul sebati menggunakan senduk kayu.

- Masukkan kuning telur dan kacau sebati.

- Masukkan tepung dan oat. Kacau lagi hingga sebati.

- Bentukkan bulat-bulat menggunakan sudu dan letakkan di atas dulang pembakar. Tekan sedikit untuk meleperkan dengan menggunakan garfu.

- Bakar di dalam oven pada 160C, api atas bawah, fan on selama 10-12 minit.

- Setelah masak, keluarkan dan alih cookies ke atas redai untuk menyejukkan.

- Simpan di dalam bekas kedap udara.

 

Kids love it. Terubat hati Ummi dok basuh besen-besen lepas buat cookies.
