Cookies

Hey There !

Today one of the older recipes of snack, the fabulous cookies ! 

That's the very simple recipe to have good cookies, you can do what ever you want with it (add nuts, remplace by white chocolate, make them small or bigger if you want a half baked middle of the cookie) 

To bake 12 large cookies, you need : 

• 125 g of salted butter (BZH RPZ)
• 6 soup spoons of cane sugar 
• 11 soup spoons of self raising flour
• 150 g of chocolate chip
• 1 egg

First pre warm the oven at 180°C

Mix the butter and the sugar with a wooden spatula

Add the beaten egg

Add the flour and the chocolate chip

Make balls with the dough (walnut size) and flatten them on the oven plate covered with baking paper ; space them enough because they will spread during the baking*

Back them for 10-15 min. 

Watch them and when contours are coloured take them out and let them cool down

Enjoy!

* Now the little plus : 

If you want a more tasty cookie : make smaller balls but flatten a bit more, put a tea spoon of Nutella and put an other flattened ball on the top. Take care to stick the contour then Nutella wouldn't escape !

Method

How to whisk the egg whites until they form peaks by hand? 

Translation :

Use a very clean bowl (I rather like to use a stainless steel one). Pour egg whites (room temperature). You can add some lemon juice and a pinch of salt to help. Also using a cold bowl might be helpful. Then you have to describe circles with your wrist to put air into egg whites until then form peaks. 

How to incorporate egg white into a mix?

Translation :

Incorporate 1/3 of egg white into the mix. At this stage, the point is to softened the dough. Then poor the mix into the egg white. With the whisk or a spatula, lift the egg white to drop it on the dough. Mix delicately until homogenization.

Pleasure and Firework in your mouth My Dear !

Hey there !

Another Food Blog Seriously?

Hell Yeah! Do you know why ? Because everybody need to eat to live, but the question that matter is : 

Do you enjoy what your eating ? 

If Yes, you are at the right place. 

I strongly believe that food is not just about "feeding your body" but more about taking pleasure in cooking and sharing a moment with people that matter.
Or just enjoying what you are eating, that's a start.  

Tea time matter, but sometimes you want salty snacks ? Fine, no one is judging you.

This blog has only one rule : enjoy your food, nothing else matters.

If your are happy with kale and brocoli that's also great but you won't find a lot of those recipes here... (I can tell you where if you want)

I will propose you several recipes, some easier than other but reachable by everyone.
