I so much appreciate this learning challenge as it is my first time of preparing cookies yes it is my very first time of making cookies I'm not only that I decorated it.
I learnt so many things from the outlined after carefully reading and examining it I was able to grab what is needed while making cookies.
So I went to the market but this ingredient and carried out my practical, while doing this I take into consideration carefully the tips that was suggested and this really helped me to get the most out of my practise. In fact my cookies didn't only come out very neat but also very delicious.
So come with me let me show you how I prepared it.

Which segment was the most difficult and time-consuming for you? Can you give an approximate time?
Of all the segments the only parts that was most difficult for me was rolling the dough, it was difficult and time consuming because it requires more time and energy to roll the dough making it easy to cut.
I didn't really time myself but it was about 20 minutes.
Another part that would have been more time consuming is shaping, it really takes time and need concentration to get the shape well.
How did you feel when decorating the cookies? Did you feel creative, or did you have some kind of limitation?
Well, I think I feel happy while decorating because the changes I saw from the final outlook was really beautiful.
The decoration was amazing and I feel satisfied
My kids really enjoyed it so much.
The enjoyed that creamy texture, the flavour from the milk really makes them too like it and they stick to it.
Do you consider decorated cookies to be an essential snack on a dessert table?
Even though it's a little bit expensive over here but I will say it Will look appetising to the eyes. I don't really admire desserts like this but I use my children to give this judgement. Immediately they saw the decorated cookies they despised the ones I did not decorate because after baking I didn't decorate all the cookies I baked. So immediately they saw the decorated one they admired it and go for it.
So there are lovers of decorated cookies so I agree that decorated cookies can be essential snack on a dessert table.
