2. Cookie dough: In a medium bowl, whisk butter until creamy. Then whisk in sugar until thoroughly combined.
3. Add egg and whisk until well-blended.
4. Switch to a silicone spatula and mix in flour until almost combined. Then add pandan and mix thoroughly.
5. Transfer onto a cling wrap. Wrap and refrigerate until firm.
6. Bread dough: In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Make a well on its center.
7. Pour milk and egg into the center. Using a wooden spoon, stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture until all dry is absorbed.
8. Transfer dough onto work surface and start kneading with your hands for about 1 minute. Then wrap butter into the dough.
9. Continue kneading. It will be messy and oily. But the more we knead, the less sticky it becomes. Add a little flour onto the work surface and the dough if it is easier for you to knead.
10. After 10-15 minutes of kneading, the dough will become smooth, elastic and not sticky. Transfer into a bowl. Cover the bowl with a cling wrap. Let it ferment for about 1 hour or until double in size.
11. Meanwhile, divide cookie dough evenly into 10 balls. Refrigerate again with a cover.
12. After bread dough has doubled in size, release the gas inside by pressing it down. Transfer onto work surface and divide evenly into 10 balls. Cover them with a cling wrap to prevent drying out.
13. Press a chilled cookie ball between two pieces of parchment paper to a thickness of about ¼-inch. You can use a dough scraper or anything with a flat side to press.
14. Take one bread dough and roll again to release any gas. Remove the top parchment paper from the cookie dough. Then place the dough ball onto the center.
15. Flip over so the cookie dough is facing up and remove the second parchment paper. Gently press to wrap all sides of dough ball with the cookie dough. The bottom part of dough ball can be left unwrapped.
16. Dip the ball into a bowl of granulated sugar (2 tbsp) to coat the cookie dough. Then use a dough scraper or knife to gently score criss-cross or any pattern onto the cookie.
17. Place on a baking sheet and cover with a cling wrap. Repeat with the rest. Let them sit and rise until one and a half times bigger.
18. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F or 200°C for 12 to 15 minutes.

Foods That Make You Happy

Many of us believe that comfort foods are bad for us and that we have to keep away from them. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be extremely healthy and good for you. A number of foods really do improve your mood when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, test out a couple of these.

Eggs, you may be astonished to discover, are fantastic at combating depression. You need to see to it, however, that what you make includes the yolk. Whenever you would like to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolk especially, are high in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be terrific for boosting your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that control your mood. Try eating an egg and be happy!

Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all great for improving your mood. This is possible since these foods are high in magnesium which boosts your production of serotonin. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more serotonin you have, the better you are going to feel. Not just that, nuts, in particular, are a fantastic protein source.

If you wish to defeat depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can really help you overcome your depression.

Grains can be good for overcoming a bad mood. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are fantastic at helping you feel happier. They help you feel full too which can really help to improve your mood. Feeling famished can actually make you feel terrible! These grains can help your mood elevate because it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. You digest these grains more quickly than other things which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.

Green tea is really good for your mood. You just knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is loaded with a certain amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This helps focus your mental energy while at the same time calming your body. You probably already knew it is not hard to get healthy when you consume green tea. Now you know it can help raise your mood too!

So you see, you don’t have to turn to junk food or foods that are bad for you to feel better! Go with these hints instead!
