How I love life&#8217;s little surprises and the blessings in disguise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I went over to a friend&#8217;s house last Tuesday for a baking session to try out the almond cookies. It was a little over-baked, I think, but tasty nevertheless. This batch today is supposed to be an improved version of that first attempt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Baking alone by oneself can never be as fun as when somebody is around while one bakes. At least there is somebody to talk to, to give your fare a go after the oven pops, or at least sop up the redolence of freshly-baked delights. It makes me recall the time when I was baking mooncakes with my mum. By this time of the year, she would most probably have made her purchases of Chinese New Year goodies, but how I wish I could send some of these back home to let her try.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Ingredients<\/em>: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ground almond powder: 300g<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Castor sugar: 180g (3\/4 cup)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Plain flour: 250g (2.5 cups), sifted<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Salt: 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vanilla essence: 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vegetable oil: 250ml (slightly less than 1 cup)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Egg: 1, beaten with 3 tbsp water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Method<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Preheat oven to 200 deg.
