Cookie Monsters

Yes, I have 2 ‘Cookie Monsters’ at home ! (Papap and Cemara)

Kemarin ujuk-ujuk – nggak ada angin nggak ada hujan, kira-kira jam 6 sore an deh. The Big Cookie Monster asked me to make Cornflakes Cookies (again) – he can’t wait anymore, he said. Lebaran kan baru kurang lebih 10 hari yang lalu – tapi Lebaran Cookies kami sudah kandas dari hari ke-2 sesudah Lebaran. Once I have some Cookies made and seen by my two Cookie Monsters – ho..ho..ho.. it won’t last long.

Yesterday evening, I quickly went out to find some New Zealand Butter at my usual ‘Warung Serba Ada’ and started making the cookies at around 7 pm in the Hotel‘s Pastry Kitchen. Nggak lama juga kok bikinnya – karena loyang untuk memanggangnya besar sekali as show below in my previous posting. At 8.30 pm I have finished and the two Cookie Monsters started to munch my Cornflakes Cookies. I made it from 1 recipe — which can make nearly 2 big plastic containers (big means really big one), for Lebaran I only made it from a half of its recipe. For those who want to try the recipe, simply pip it in Forum Bloggerfamily’s Kitchen, especially for the ones who soon will celebrate Christmas might want to try this recipe.

Sementara menunggu cookiesnya dipanggang – I saw the Pastry Staff sedang mencetak Croissant untuk keperluan breakfast besok paginya. Wow! For me it was so interesting. Untuk yang bisa mendapatkan Puff Pastry yang ready-made di Supermarket, mungkin bisa mencoba melipat Croissant sendiri. Tapi mungkin ada yang jual kali ya, Croissant yang sudah jadi (di my ‘Warung Serba Ada’ mah nggak ada) dan lebih murah dari pada bikin sendiri. Anyway, I share what I saw last night — perhaps, it might interest you, too.

Cetakan segitiga dari kayu

Cetak adonan sebesar segitiga kayu diatas.
Belah satu sisinya sekitar 2 cm.

Ambil satu potong adonan segitiga – tarik seperti photo di atas.
Kemudian, tari ke samping kiri dan kanan as shown above.

Lipat adonan ke bawah satu kali, kemudian lipat satu kali lagi (lihat photo diatas).
Selebihnya gulung adonan ke bawah.

Setelah tergulung sampai ujung – hasilnya seperti diatas.
Tekuk kedua ujungnya – croissant siap di olesi kuning telur kemudian di panggang.
