A long time ago i used to make this shortbread cookies during christmas time . I don’t know why but i have skipped so many years without making shortbread cookies .

That’s why once it’s all done being baked , i put them away .. you know the phrase ” Out of sight out of mind .. ” I saw a recipe that has chocolate chip in their shortbread . That’s what i am doing right now actually , i added about 1 cup of semi…

I never heard of sable cookies , until , my sister mentioned it . She gave me her recipe for sable cookies , so i made them yesterday , thinking , this should be good .

The recipe i got from my mother in law . Except , french butter cookies use egg yolks and while my butter cookies used whole eggs . I thought i gave it a try anyway…

The other day i was hungry for eclairs , without the chocolate ganache . For some reason , the ganache makes it too rich , although , you’ve seen eclairs that are sold in the bakery usually are covered with chocolate ganache . I prefer the ones without the ganache . The pate a choux itself is already yummy , the vanilla cream is sweet enough and it’s just perfect that way . For the recipe please refer to here .
