我去同学聚会了，曲奇饼干难做吗？
wǒ qù tóngxuéjùhuì le ，qǔqíbǐnggān nán zuò ma ？
I went to a party with classmates. Are cookies hard to make?
我觉得比蛋糕简单，先把面粉鸡蛋黄油和水按比例搅拌，做成一个面团再压扁，然后用各种模具压出各种造型，最后用烤箱180度烤15分钟。

I think they are easier than cake. First, you mix the right amount of flour, eggs, butter and water together, and make it into a dough which you then press down. After that, you use all kinds of cookie molds to cut out all kinds of shapes. Lastly, you use the oven to bake them for 15 minutes at 180 degrees.
