Coconut Almond Oatmeal Cookies

Once I wanted to share a lamb recipe with my eldest sister. I told her to put a little bit this and a little bit that..... She asked: "How many is a little bit, 0.5g, 5g? Give me the amount of ingredients." She is physicist and wants everything to be precise.

I don't work that way. I rarely cook or bake anything completely according to recipes, I frequently make up my own. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. My dishes taste differently each time, at least slightly. Sometimes, my husband said " It tasted better last time." The problem is I've never written down recipes, I don't remember what I put in last time.

I baked some coconut almond oatmeal cookies yesterday, they taste really good. This time I decided to write it down in case that next time I want to make cookies tasting exactly the same.

Ingredient:
Butter 1cup
Brown Sugar 1/2 cup
white sugar 3/4 cup
All-purpose Flour 3/4 cup
Corn starch 1/2 cup
salt 1 tsp
baking soda 1 tsp
Vanilla extraction 1 tbsp
Oatmeal 3 cup
chopped almond: 1 cup
coconut flake: 1/2 cup
large egg: 2

Soften butter in room temperature.

1.Pre-heat oven to 350 F .
2.Beat butter until creamy in a mixing bow. Add sugars, continue to beat until fluffy. Beat in eggs. Then add vanilla extraction. Beat to mix well.
3 Mix all-purpose Flour, Corn starch, salt, baking soda in another mixing bowl. Stir into the mixture made in step 2, stir in almonds, coconut flake and oatmeal.
4 Spoon out the mixture onto parchment papers, make cookies. I made a big one, cut after it baked.
5 Bake about 12 minutes, until cookies looks brown.

I cut about 30 square cookies and some odds.

Low Cost Patchwork Board

When I mark on fabric, sometimes fabric moves and stretches, which annoys me. Last week, I found a product named Patchwork Board(produced by Clover, a Japanese Company), a kind of marking board has a built-in sandpaper surface to hold fabric in place so you can mark accurate lines, and the opposite side is an ironing board surface. The price listed on the official website is US$29.95. Today, I tried to find this patchwork board in 3 local stores, they don't have it. So I decided to make one myself. I went to Canadian Tire and bought a piece of Ultra fine sandpaper (the finest sandpaper in store) at $0.27 + tax. :) I glued it on hard paper board, and glued a layer of batting on the wrong side, then cover the batting side with a piece of fabric( larger than the hard paper board), folded the fabric to the sandpaper side and glued the edge to cover the edge of the sandpaper. Voila!! In about half an hour, I made a marking-ironing board for less than $1.00. If I know it, I wouldn...
