Matcha Chewy Cookies + BIG Feastival


I would say again, how time really flies so fast. It's July already! And today, I am giving myself a chance to welcome the month by posting my sweet recipe for the 4th day of July celebration and to congratulate my dear idol for his recent successful event which is "The Big Feastival" that happened in London from July 1-3! Let me share you some interesting photos from the event that I have spied on.








Amazingly done that's the only thing I can say how Jamie put all things together creatively. I was a silent watcher and observer when Jamie and Danny tweeted about the updates during the big event. It gives me a nostalgic feeling of my childhood as I write this blog. The fun rides, ice cream, story-telling, entertaining numbers and of course cooking demo and a whole lot more are the things that what this event is all about. All these people convene to experience a very unforgettable event that was all made possible by Jamie Oliver! I hope you guys wouldn't wonder why I admire this big man with all my big love and support.


Since time flies so fast, I am scheduled to fly again to Bangkok for another business trip. I am going to have another post production for an upcoming TVC project which is very very soon this July. So I am grabbing this opportunity to doodle some words and tell a few stories just before July slips away again. August is just beside the corner then it will be September! I have so many things in mind to accomplish before the first of September comes. And I just hope I will get it all done on time. Meanwhile, let me just share you today another attempt of the chewy cookies I did recently.



MATCHA CHEWY COOKIES


Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp Matcha Powder
• 1 cup flour
• 3 Eggs
• 100 grams chopped Almonds
• 1/2 cup Condensed Milk
• 1 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup Raisin
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 2 tbsp Vanilla Syrup
• Butter (of course)

Procedure:

Melt butter and beat the eggs then set aside. Get a mixing bowl and put flour, brown sugar, baking powder, vanilla syrup, almonds and raisins. Mix them all together then add the egg and whisk it. Add condensed milk and melted butter after wards. Fold the mixture. Preheat the oven at 150 degrees celsius. Put was paper on the baking tray then scoop in the mixture on top of the baking sheet. Bake for 20 - 30 minutes. reduce the temperature after 15 minutes to 100 degrees celsius. Remove from the oven after baking, cool it down and serve it as chewy as you want it to be.

This is it for now mates. I look forward to post more blog this month of July! :D

big hug,
