Frankly speaking, this is not my first time making cookies and not my first time encountering the same problems but the first time I solved it! When I started, I added the wrong ingredients already! We were suppose to ass all the ingredients into separate bowls, but I added all of them in 1! As the home economics teacher did not want me to waste ingredients she told me to continue. Next was mixing, at first it went well, but later, when I added flour, it turned all lumpy. That was when I realised that I added too much flour and the mixture had turned dry. As I remembered the teacher telling us to add milk if the mixture was too dry, I added the milk, and it worked! Problem number 1 solved. After a whole lot of mixing, me and my partner proceeded to making the cookies. The teacher wanted our cookies to look round and smooth, but ours wasn't. when I shaped it, it looked oval and had a lot of gaps in between the dough. This made it look ugly and unappetizing, so we had to redo them. This was when I encountered problem number 2, how to shape the dough into nice round shapes using teaspoons(which was VERY difficult). Initially, I wanted to use my hands but I was stopped immediately by the teacher, who said that using your own hands was unhygienic. So I had no choice but to continue. After 20 minutes of shaping the doughs, I realised that if I pressed down the dough with a teaspoon while it was being carried in a teaspoon, it would create a nice smooth shape. By doing that, rolling it into a ball(using teaspoons) became much more easier. Problem number 2 solved.
Fortunately, after that everything else went smoothly and the good news was that I and my partner got 14.5/15 which was good. Well these are the only 2 problems I encountered and solved. It might seem small, but it wasn't for me, and the whole class too!
