Butter Cookies with Frosting

Skrg ni anak2 sy sedang bercuti summer. Bila dah tak pegi sekolah tu diorg mula la kebosanan. Sy pon x larat tgk diorg mengadap tv dan lapto sepanjang masa. Bg baca buku pon bila dah lama sikit, diorg pon naik bosan. Nak keluar pulak kena tunggu petang sbb skrg ni cuaca tgh panas membara. Kadang2 mencecah 40C.

So sy ajak diorg buat butter cookies. Sikembar mmg sgt suka kalau sy ajak diorg buat projek masak2. Since sy xde papan menguli yg besar, sy guna meja makan as papan menguli. Of course sebelum tu sy basuh dan lap bersih2 meja makan. Dan sy biarkan aje sikembar nak cut the cookies ikut shape yg diorg suka.
