======================================================

I kind of having a very tiring weekend especially today. As Doreen is kind enough to bring me to the city to see a 'g' doc and have a check up. And we two have been spending money none stop.. looking for some scrapbooking stuff, clothes, baking stuffs... woooww.. really make full use of the day and reach back home around 5pm. I planned to take a rest after the whole day trip but Doreen saw my recipe books hanging here and there around the living room and she feels like makin something and I asked her wat she wants to make.. she named so much but I dun have the ingredient. So I say why not make cookies and asked to choose something to make and she chose the chocolated chip walnut cookies.. she says she wants to take a bath before doing it so I just went to the kitchen and get ready all the ingredients.. while I was waiting for her, I flipped the pages and the Bourbon biscuit caught my attention. Its soo simple and I really feel like making the cookies using the pastry/cookies cutter. hehe.. so end up Doreen making the chocolate chip with walnuts cookies and I make the Bourbon biscuit... end result.. perfect... always give credit to our own.. especially Doreen, as this is the first time she make this type of cookies...

I will only type in the recipe for the bourbon biscuits as I already have a chocolate chip recipe typed in way back...
