Almond butter cookies

the temp of the room is impt
it is good to make the dough in the air-con environment if possible
this will make the dough easier to manage as butter will not melt easily

also keep some flour around to dust the rolling pin, cookies cutters and table for making cookies

challenges include (1) ensuring the thick of each dough is about the same size
this will make sure the final cookies are of similar thickness for presentation
(2) keeping the cut-out dough to the cookie shape....consistency for presentation too
as the dough maybe a bit soft in the hot sg climate, it is difficult to keep to the shape after cutting it out....similar to making pineapples tarts....

i probably followed the wrong recipe

researching

on how to make kueh baulu softer....
was it not enough beating of the eggs?
or was it left in the air-con room for too long....
