Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip
Cookies 28 Orange Macarons with Chocolate Sour
Cream Ganache 48 Frosted Chewy Orange, Date and
Oat Cookies 52 To say the least, my love for cookie making did not get an early start.
I believe my passion for baking cookies began while I was running my
caf business in the late 90s. Although the thought of baking cookies was daunting at first, once
I worked through the process and understood the techniques, knowing
what to do became second nature. I believe that many people do not
like baking cookies because they think that what theyre attempting
will not turn out right.

To them I say, do not be intimidated by how
daunting it seems. If Allan can bake cookies, so can you. In this book, I share my love for the variety of ways that cookies
can be made. It features 25 recipes for no-frills cookies that taste
decadent. You dont have to have innate talent or fancy equipment
to do so. I sincerely hope that you will be able to take what I am sharing
and make it your own, such that someday it will find a place in your
collection of heirloom cookie recipes.

So, what are you waiting for? Lets start baking cookies! Allan Albert Teoh

This book has been such a pleasure to work on and it couldnt have been done
without the team at Marshall Cavendish. Lydia Leong is the best publishing
manager any author could ask for. Lo Yi Min has been an insightful editor.
Bernard Go, the designer, worked tirelessly to make this book look wonderful. Liu Hongde made my no-nonsense cookies look glamorous and
drool-worthy in his photos. I am eternally grateful for the constant support of my nephews and nieces
(all nine of you from the Chia, Chua and Teo families you know who you
are). They are the ones who tasted my creations with patience and gave their
honest feedback.

A massive thank you to my siblings, especially my sisters for
their constant support and inspiring words, as well as my brothers- and sisters
in-law. I must also thank my extended family, especially my god-daughters
Praveena and Karlpana, for being there when I needed them. Thanks to Gladys Cheong and her family for their ceaseless support
and love. I am extremely blessed to have Mr Eric Lim, BBM, Pek Kio CCMC
Chairman; Ms Cynthia Goh and Ms Jennifer Ang for their friendship and
encouragement. It means a lot to me. Lastly and most of all, I want to thank all my cookie baking buddies and
fans.

All of them made this book possible through their love of home-made
cookies. They are the ones who motivate me to make this book a reality.
Thank you!
