Snow at last!



Yesterday I couldn't believe my own eyes, it started snowing... A LOT! I was so surprised that inmediately started baking, and since I was ordered to make some cookies, I decided to blog them.

Every time we begin something we feel distant to finish it, so we hurry up and try to compensate the fact that enjoying the moment is best and thinking that tomorrow is always better is a mistake, so every wishful thinking is welcome.
So many days thinking is this the best I can do? No, I can do much better... a common thought amongst people.
Always trying to figure out what we are doing and who we are,but there's nothing better than home and a couple of cookies that go along with our afternoon's nostalgia.

So here they are:



The recipe:Chocolate Chip Cookies.

3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
8 oz bittersweet chocolate, cut into chunks

1.Preheat oven to 350 F
2.Cream together butter and sugars until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and blend in.
3.Stir in flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chunks.
4.Drop by tablespoons onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown around the edges.


These are best on their first day. Enjoy! Here at home are really addicted to these cookies...



Ayer empezo a nevar... no lo podiamos creer, estaba tan sorprendida que empece a hornear, y como me habian encargado unas galletitas, prepare estas.
Cada vez que empezamos algo nos sentimos distantes para terminar lo que sea que empezamos y tratamos de compensar el hecho de que disfrutar el momento es lo mejor y pensar que mañana siempre es mejor, es un error, asi que cada pensamiento positivo y emocional es bienvenido.
Tantos dias pensando: es esto lo mejor que puedo hacer? No, puedo hacerlo mejor... un pensamiento comun entre la gente.
Siempre tratando de decifrarnos, pero no hay nada mejor que casa y unas buenas galletitas que acompañen nuestra tarde de nostalgia.

Aqui estan:

Galletitas de chocolate.

3/4 taza de manteca a temperatura ambiente
1 taza azucar rubia
1/4 taza azucar comun
1 huevo
2 cucharaditas de extracto de vainilla
2 tazas de harina
2 cucharaditas de maicena
1 cdita de bicarbonato de sodio
1/2 cdita de sal
227 gramos de chocolate semiamargo, cortado en trozos.


1.Precalentar el horno a 180 C
2.Batir la Manteca pomada con los dos tipos de azucar. Agregar el huevo y el extracto de vainilla. Mezclar bien.
3.Agregar los secos (harina, maicena, bicarbonato de sodio y sal) mezclar bien. Agregar los pedazos de chocolate.
4.Disponer cucharadas de la masa sobre una bandeja para horno y hornear por 8-10 minutos, hasta que estén dorados los bordes.
Dejar enfriar y disfrutar. Estan mejor en el primer dia, al dia siguiente el chocolate se va a solidificar un poco.
