Hello very good evening.
Today I dared to try another recipe which I had a long time without making, as I mentioned before now I have an oven and this has helped me a lot to prepare new things for me and my family, I love cooking and it fills me with joy to share with you some of the things I do and probably will continue to do, my next goal is to make a lasagna or baked chicken so soon I will show you one of these two dishes, for now, I share with you this recipe for butter cookies that in the end I wanted to mix part of the dough with cocoa to make a combination of butter and cocoa, I made a lot of cookies, I didn't really count the total, plus we ate some in the process of baking each group of cookies hahaha, I hope you like it.
- 140 gramos de mantequilla
- 125 gramos de azúcar
- 320 gramos de harina de trigo
- 1 Huevo
- Opcional : una cucharadita de vainilla o ralladura de limón
- 140 grams of butter
- 125 grams of sugar
- 320 grams of wheat flour
- 1 egg
- Optional : a teaspoon of vanilla or lemon zest
I started adding the butter in a bowl and then I added the sugar, I started mixing these two ingredients with my fingers until the sugar is mixed very well in the butter, after I had this kind of paste, I chose which optional ingredient to add to my mixture, this time I wanted vanilla, I added it and started mixing again.
I added an egg and continued mixing with my fingers until I had an almost liquid consistency, I added the flour and started to knead, I passed the mixture to the table to work better, sprinkling a little flour on the surface of the table and kneading a little more until I had a good consistency.
Once my dough was ready, I started to stretch it with the help of a rolling pin, I like my cookies super thin so I stretched it quite a bit, as I don't have cookie cutters I decided to use the top of a glass creating the shape of the cookies, I put them on a tray which I put wax paper to prevent them from sticking, I turned on the oven at 180 degrees when I was kneading, I put the tray in and let the cookies cook for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes I took out the first group of cookies, they were golden and very good, I got enough dough and also the fact that I like thin cookies makes the dough yields more and more quantity of cookies come out, as my oven is small I had to do about 5 baking, and already in the last batch of cookies it occurred to me to mix a little cocoa with part of the dough and that's how I started to play making chocolate cookies and some half chocolate and half butter, the truth is they were all very delicious, I liked them very much, I invite you to make them at home because it is a very simple and tasty recipe.
