Farewell Cookies

This year of uni is going to be very special to me because my studio class is going to be split into two groups. The first group going to the Shanghai base in semester one and the second half will go in semester two, which means in this whole year I am not see my other half except holidays :( This is really sad. When sending them off I have decided to make them cookies as a farewell gift. 

The idea of this "bye" cookie in pixelated font is inspired by a youtuber Rosanna Pansino, who made the tetris cookies with fun factory. I am going to use the same technique to make it. 

Butter:                     250g

Granulated sugar:   170g

All purpose flour:   500g

Egg:                        1

Water:                     5ml

Salt:                         a pinch 

Vanilla Extract:       2 teaspoon 

Chocolate powder:  reasonable amount

1. Whisk in the sugar into the softened butter until creamy. Then add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix them well.

2. Shift in the flour (with salt in it) and mix gently with a spatular. 

3. Cut 1/3 of the cookie dough and shift in the coco powder till the desirable colour comes out. Mix them well.

4. Put the cookie dough into the freezer for at least 2 hours.

3. Take the cookie doughs out, take out bit by bit and use the fun factory (with the rectangle setting) to make the long squared strips. 

4. Stack the strips on top of each other to create the large cookie dough block (do the math beforehand!) and pop it into the freezer to harden it.

5. Take out the cookie dough block and use a sharp knife to slice out the cookies evenly. They should be ready to bake right away.
