Hitting the pause button on Flashback Friday to celebrate Singapore’s 48th birthday!
To celebrate our nation’s birthday this year, I made Red Velvet Cookies with White Chocolate Chips! Apt, right? 😛

Alright, so my cookies didn’t turn out to be very red cos I didn’t use a lot of food colouring. Haha. But I love how rich and cake-like the cookies turned out!
Here’s wishing everyone an amazing long weekend and,
