M&M's cookies


I have totally forgot about updating this cookies recipe, I made this after my kids demand for cookies in the supermarket. The kids have been off school for the summer holidays, so food shopping means taking them with me. We always come home with lots of junk food.
I rememeber that we had a bag of M&Ms at home so rather buy the cookies, I decided to make it when we got in.

These are really easy to make and the kids had fun helping me.
Well, that did help kill some time too.

Snow skin moon cakes

 
 
 It's here!! Mid Autumn festival. Have you made moon cakes yet?
This year I wanted to try something different apart from the traditional moon cakes. 
You can find my traditional moon cake post here.
 
A fellow Blogger Jenny Ong, which I have been in touch with lately, have shared with me one of her Snow skin moon cake recipe. As her blog is in Chinese which I can't read, she kindly translated her recipe in English for me and have given me the confidence to try it.
 
And the results were amazing!!
 
Here is Jenny's Snow skin moon cake recipe link

White modelling chocolates.

You need :
12oz of Wilton's candy melts

Melt the Candy melts in the microwave, heat it for 30 seconds and mix, another 30 seconds and it should be half melted and mix then lastly 20 seconds and it should have completely melted.
