Personal notes／温馨小贴士:

– i halved the recipe and made 17 cookies using a 3.5cm cookie scoop
我做了半份食谱，用了3.5厘米曲奇勺，做了17个曲奇

– i melted about 130g of dark chocolate melts to coat the cookies ~ i found the amount just nice for dipping
我融化了130克黑巧克力涂抹曲奇 ～ 份量刚好

– i did not have nestum (not in beijing ya?) and used spelt oats… the taste still worked out well
北京没找着Nestum, 所以用了斯佩耳特小麦麦片。。。味道也很好

– my cookies were baked for 18 minutes
我的曲奇烤了18分钟

– halved toasted almonds and sliced almonds were used for the ears and feet respectively. melted white and dark chocolate have been used for eyes, whiskers and paws. you can fix the ears immediately after the cookie has been coated
也不知道这次做了啥动物。。。反正耳朵和小脚是半颗粒杏仁和杏仁片。其余表情都是用融化白巧和黑巧点上的。。耳朵可以在涂抹上黑巧克力后直接粘上
