We all love afternoon snacks, especially if they're made with delicious homemade cookies. As we all know, homemade food is different and tastes better—it's the taste of dedication and love.

Hello, cooking friends! It's a pleasure to be back with you. This time, I want to share a delicious recipe for flower-shaped cookies. I'm so excited to show you how I made them. Making homemade cookies is a very fun activity; I really enjoyed the afternoon I spent making them. I'm not a baking expert, but when I want to make something different, I look it up and then apply what I've learned. One of the things I worry about most when cooking is the possibility of a dish not turning out right. That uncertainty can be a big obstacle, especially when it comes to preparing something new. However, I've learned that the key is to experiment and not be afraid to make mistakes.For this recipe, I used a mix that's very similar to the cake mix, but with a little trick: it doesn't have milk! This is essential for getting the right consistency. Plus, since I don't need that many ingredients, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the recipe yields a lot. What amazes me most is that, despite being a simple recipe, it makes a lot of cookies! This makes them a perfect option to share with friends and family. Imagine bringing a plate full of colorful flower-shaped cookies to a get-together. They'll definitely be a hit. Now that I've told you a little about my experience, I'm going to share the ingredients I used and the step-by-step preparation instructions. I'm sure you'll enjoy making these cookies as much as I did. So let's get started and enjoy this delicious adventure in the kitchen!

(Materiales a usar:)(Materials to use:)

• 200 gramos de harina de trigo
• 1 una taza de azúcar
• 3 cucharadas de mantequilla
• 1 huevo
• 1 limón
• Pastillitas de caramelo con chocolate

• 200 grams of wheat flour
• 1 cup of sugar
• 3 tablespoons of butter
• 1 egg
• 1 lemon
• Chocolate caramel candies

(Procedimiento:)(Procedure:)

• Paso nro 1

En una taza mediana voy mezclar la mantequilla con el azúcar. Es fundamental que la mantequilla esté a temperatura ambiente, ya que esto ayudará a obtener una mezcla cremosa y suave.Use una cucharilla para mezclar estos ingredientes hasta que se integren bien y adquieran una textura ligera y esponjosa.

• Paso nro 1

In a medium bowl, I'll mix the butter and sugar. It's essential that the butter is at room temperature, as this will help create a smooth, creamy mixture. Use a teaspoon to mix these ingredients until well combined and light and fluffy.

• Paso nro 2

Una vez que tla mezcla está cremosa, es momento de añadir el huevo y la rayadura de limón. Mezcle bien hasta que todos los ingredientes estén completamente incorporados.

• Paso nro 2

Once the mixture is creamy, it's time to add the egg and lemon zest. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

• Paso nro 3

Ahora, voy a agregar la harina de trigo a la mezcla. Lo hice poco a poco para asegurarme de que todos los ingredientes se mezclen bien. Este paso es fundamental, ya que se necesita que la mezcla se convierta en una masa. A medida que fui amasando, se formó una masa suave y manejable, perfecta para trabajar. Es importante no sobremezclar, ya que eso podría afectar la textura de las galletas.

• Paso nro 3

Now, I'm going to add the wheat flour to the mixture. I did this little by little to ensure all the ingredients were well combined. This step is crucial, as it requires the mixture to form a dough. As I kneaded, a soft, manageable dough formed, perfect for working. It's important not to overmix, as that could affect the texture of the cookies.

• Paso nro 4

Cuando la masa esté lista, llegó el momento más divertido: ¡hacer la forma de flor de las galletas! Para esto, tomé pequeñas porciones de la masa y fui formando bolitas. Hice cinco bolitas que junté, dejando un espacio en el centro. Este espacio es crucial porque aquí es donde colocaré unas pastillas de chocolate con cobertura de caramelo. Estas pastillas son geniales porque vienen en diferentes colores, lo que le dará a mis galletas un aspecto festivo y atractivo.Una vez que armé varias florecitas, las coloqué en la nevera por un rato. Leí que si se dejan enfriar, al momento de hornear las galletas se cocinan mejor por fuera y por dentro quedan suaves. Además, al enfriarse, no pierden su forma original, es decir, no se desparraman en el horno.

• Paso nro 4

Once the dough was ready, the fun part came: shaping the cookies into flower shapes! To do this, I took small portions of the dough and formed them into balls. I made five balls and joined them together, leaving a space in the center. This space is crucial because this is where I'll place some candy-coated chocolate chips. These chips are great because they come in different colors, which will give my cookies a festive and attractive look. Once I'd made several flowers, I placed them in the refrigerator for a while. I read that if they cool, the cookies cook better on the outside and stay soft on the inside when baked. Plus, when they cool, they don't lose their original shape, meaning they won't spread in the oven.

• Paso nro 5

En el momento de hornear, preferí colocarlas en el horno eléctrico por 15 minutos a toda potencia. Como no tengo la bandeja de horno eléctrico, utilicé papel aluminio para cubrir la bandeja. Esto funcionó bien y ayudó a que las galletas se cocinaran de manera uniforme.

• Paso nro 5

When baking, I preferred to place them in the electric oven for 15 minutes at full power. Since I don't have an electric baking sheet, I used aluminum foil to cover the baking sheet. This worked well and helped the cookies cook evenly.

(Resultado final:)(Bottom line:)

De esta receta salieron 12 galletas de flores y 20 galletas normales, sumando un total de 32 galletas. No hice más galletas de flores porque no me alcanzaron las pastillas de chocolate, así que decidí aprovechar la masa restante para hacer galletas normales. ¡Y así quedaron estas ricas galletas!Espero que les haya gustado la receta y que se animen a probarla. Estoy deseando escuchar cómo les va y esperaré la siguiente oportunidad para compartir con ustedes otra receta. ¡Vamos a disfrutar de la cocina juntos!

This recipe yielded 12 flower cookies and 20 regular cookies, for a total of 32 cookies. I didn't make any more flower cookies because I didn't have enough chocolate chips, so I decided to use the remaining dough to make regular cookies. And these delicious cookies turned out! I hope you enjoyed the recipe and that you'll be inspired to try it. I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes and I'll wait for the next opportunity to share another recipe with you. Let's enjoy cooking together!
