Deutshe Kekse

Have you ever experienced feeling lazy to do anything but at the same time craved to bake something? I always have that kind of 'syndrome'. That's when I start looking for something very simple to do, to fulfill both categories. When you're lazy, you will surely want to finish off whatever you do as fast as you can. So at the same time, you bake! And this is one of the recipe that falls in that category. Because of it's simplicity and not to mention the lovely taste, I've made twice this recipe two days in a row. It's hasslefree, trust me. And yesterday was even better. Syahmi helped me with the shaping of the cookies. I was running out of time and who should walk into the kitchen.. Syahmi. Hahaha.. perfect timing boy! Thank you for helping mama... do walk into the kitchen anytime okay... hahaha...

I have to thank Rima for the lovely recipe and not to mention her lovely photos that makes me feel like going straight into the kitchen to prepare whatever I saw in Bisous À Toi. If you don't believe me, do have a peek here.

My thanks goes to Mat Gebu too for leading me to Rima's lovely recipe... Mat.. I follow!

Without further adieu, I'll post the recipe here, according to how I had prepared mine. Rima and Mat, allow me to copy and paste your recipes here for the reading pleasure of my visitors. Thank you so much and may Allah bless you both. Ameen...
