C is for Cookie and W is for Wah Lau!

Last Sunday, i made cookies.. and i had a hard time trying to "cream" the butter and sugar because i do not have an electric mixer at home..
It was very very tiring! Imagine, You're the human mixer!

I had to hold the mixing bowl with my left hand and use my right hand to cream it, with the egg beater.


Very Tiring you know! There was a time that i had to sit down and grip the mixing bowl in between my thighs and cream the mixture with my two hands! (The Boyfriend said that sounds sexy... but let me tell you.. It's NOT!!)


While i was doing that, i kept saying this to myself, "I am a human egg beater! I am a human egg beater! I AM A HUUUMAAAN EEEGGG BEAAATEEEEEEER!!"

I had to get my mother to help me too.. and also my sister! We took turns to cream the mixture..

My chewy chocolate cookies turned out good.. so did my right arm i think. I can see the muscle popping out.. But it's still aching though hahaha.

I need an electric mixer!!

Fat Fingers : I need to get an electric mixer so i can bake more cookies and cake

Mama : Don't need
Fat Fingers : But if i don't get it i will have to do all the creaming and mixing manually!! Very tiring!
Mama : Use the machine lah.
Fat Fingers : Yah.. that's why i want to get one?!?!
Mama : Don't need! Have one at home what?! It's right inside the cabinet.
Fat Fingers : Wah Lau!!!! Why didn't you tell me earlier?!?!?!?!

Argh! My mama! We had the machine all along! And she thought i knew and was wondering why i prefer to use my hand instead of the machine!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

haha... man i do feel your pain. I did just that, the other day when my mixer spoiled. it died on me when making the dough for my cinn buns and i still had yet to make my peanut butter cookies so i had no choice but to mix it by hand... with the good 'ol whisk.
i whisked so hard i almost died.. haha my arm was literally burning! (and it ached the next day) but heh it's supposed to be good exercise eh? lol....

well at least now you know you've actually got the machine at home! no need to suffer anymore...

seriously when i bake cookies i normally choose to beat it manually as in using hands. The results are much better cos cookies taste better rough cos sometimes if u use electric mixer the cookies seems to turn out flat with smooth surface...blueehh... :P
Oh but the mixer is darn usefull for fluffing the eyewhites when u need to bake a cake u definately need one....

brama said...

This is funny! Your fingers are put to good use again. Haha. ... why didn't you check with your mom first? Wah Lau indeed! Frankly, I prefer cookies made by hand, the texture is better, more chewy.
