Cookies for my Valentines
Who needs a reason to bake cookies right?? but since I've been trying to lose some weight lately I've been trying to stay away from the baking ,because I cannot control my sweet tooth ;) hurray to you if u can!
So it's valentine morning, I decided to bake with my little one for the first time today and see how it goes.
So back to the recipe, here it goes
3 1/2 cups of flour
3/4 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 cup soft butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
a pinch of salt
Put the egg , vanilla and salt in a bowl and whisk. Then add the sugar, butter and then the flour and mix with your hands untill a dough consistency is acheived. The dough will be a bit crumbly don't worry (because I did worry at first ;) ) then put the dough in between two sheets of wax paper and start rolling it with a rolling pin. Then get whatever cookie cutter you will use and cut the dough and line the cookies on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Then put them in the fridge to rest for about 1/2 hour. Then they will be ready for the oven. I put mine in a preheated oven 150 degrees C for about 20 minutes or so. Keep checking on them, They will be ready when they turn golden , but not too brownish.
Happy Valentines to everyone or like they say in Angola Feliz Dia dos Namorados-- It's a big celebration here in Angola, will be posting some street pictures soon of how they celebrate valentine, so stay tuned :)
