Let's Bake: Gluten-free Godiva Dark Chocolate Cookies !

I baked this gluten-free cookie/scone couple weeks ago and here is the original post with recipe (link) . My first attempt is to make scones but as far as the baking goes,  if I add a bit more coconut oil, blend/knead the dough couple more times than making dough for scones and bake them longer than the required time in original recipe, I can have a yummy cookies as a result.  


Since the outcome of these cookies isn't chewy nor as hard as butter cookies, they tend to be too crumble to hold the shape. However, you can always toast/bake them to give them extra crunchiness as well as let the coconut oil to melt and help holding the shape better before you enjoy them


My little daughter is really fond of those cookies. They are gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free with extra nutrition from fax seed I added in. 



  • 1 1/2 tbsp flaxseed + 4 tbsp water (soak and set aside) 
  • 1 1/2 cups GF all purpose flour blend
  • 1/2 cup almond meal/flour
  • 1/4 cup almond, coconut, rice, or soy milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/3 full cup coconut oil in solid form 
  • 1/3 cup coconut palm sugar (low glycemic index score)
  • 5 pieces Godiva dark chocolate gem (I use whatever is available at the moment but you always can sub. with other kind chocolate or chocolate chips.) 
Bake them @ 375°F for 18 mins and let them cool down before you remove them from the bake sheet.

As I said those cookie dough isn't as sticky as traditional cookie dough, you really have to be gentle when using cookie cutter and place them on the baking sheet.

Kids love the star shaped cookies, or maybe they just think it is too cruel to eat bears, ginger-man or angels shaped cookies. lol

Even I can enjoy chocolate chip cookies without any guilt. 


Let's bake for summer.

Make a Wish w/ Russia Babushka doll!!

My friend, Michelle asked me about my opinion of Chanel Babushka doll's necklace once and I said "Not worth getting it"!! Now I am not so sure if I would say the same thing to this adorable babushka doll clutch!! lol However, even I want to find it, this doll clutch is probably long gone by now!! I have a real Russia Babushka doll made in Russia which is a gift from 10 years ago! I couldn't find the same one in USA since this set of 15 nesting dolls are truly intricate!! This is the biggest one which has the most exquisite engraving. Total 15 of them! (2 are missing from the pic.) I heard that you can make a wish w/ these nesting dolls. If your wish comes true, you can open one until all 15 are all open!! I never made any wish w/ them, guess I was too realistic of a person myself. I don't know if each engraved temple/castle on the dolls represents something. You can't open the smallest one which is only the size of the little finger nail. I adore those golde

Birthday Gift from My Dearest Darling!! Oh, Hermes!!

Oh, Hermes!! Oh, my love!! I mean both my DH and Hermes!! :P My SA insists me saying nothing about this beauty on the website. And I promised her!! The truth is the picture is worth more than a thousand words, let me share my ultimate excitement silently!! A little extra business for my SA goes a long way for our relationship!! Hermes white leather on golden studded cuff can go w/ my Chanel matte white reissue 227 That's my 09 multicolored hot air balloon print Hermes scarf The cuff can also go w/ my 35cm Gris Tourterelle Hermes Togo Birkin !!! I almost faint when I received it!! I believe every rookie of Hermes feels the same as I do!! hahah.... I think I catch the color very true! (even it is indoor at my house at night as you can tell) Ta da~! My newest addition to my little luxury collection!! Again, 35cm Gris Tourterelle Hermes Togo Birkin !

Wedge + Clog ! MINE is Clog + Heel!

pic. courtesy from WhoWhatWhere website. I came across this Max Mara clog heels. I can't help myself buying it. Now I am very excited.....why? Cause' it is extraordinary. I love the golden studded along the leather and since I don't like wedge too much, this stiletto is perfect for me. So, did you see the bottom picture to the right? Kate Olsen!!? or Dree Hemingway's looks might work w/ Max Mara clog heels. ( Whose pic. is the very first one w/ fuchsia vest) Normally I am not a copy cat, but this time, I will see if I have something similar like what she wears w/. Yes, that will be a good start to tackle this pair of heels.
