📣 ✨ THE BEST FOOD POST —Homemade cookies

Here’s a glimpse into my past baking journey—all homemade!

Sometimes I think, "Life is short, so eat whatever you want." But I also set goals for myself and aim to keep my weight within a range that I’m happy with. I once fell deeply into the world of baking, making mooncakes, cookies, bread, and cakes by myself. I bought an oven, along with various baking tools and molds. However, due to slimming and fat loss, I reduced my carb intake significantly.

Cakes and cookies are made primarily of flour, butter, and sugar, which are quite unhealthy, so I managed to get out of the baking pit. In the past, I would always make mooncakes myself before every Mid-Autumn Festival, either for personal enjoyment or to share with friends. I even made my own red bean paste filling.

Since there were no preservatives, the mooncakes didn’t last more than a few days. Most store-bought cookies and pastries contain trans fats. If you check the ingredient list, it’s hard to find anything worth buying.
The terms used for trans fats include margarine, non-dairy creamer, vegetable fats, hydrogenated oils, refined vegetable oil, shortening, and artificial butter. To maintain my weight, I’ve controlled my sugar intake for many years. I rarely eat rice, noodles, bread, milk tea, soda, orange juice, fruit, cookies, or cakes.
