Hi!
A very nice GiveAway, +1 for that and for the generosity; the rest of us, start calling you mom's/grand's/girlfriends!! :D
I have a
easy brownie recipe, it is not a cookie but is very Christmassy:
- 175 gr of dark chocolate. Not milked. The darker and pure he chocolate, the better.
- 175 gr of sugar.
- 175 gr of butter.
- 4 eggs.
- 5 flour spoons.
- 1 baking mold/plat, or something where to put into oven.
1. Start setting up the oven at 180 Celsius.
2. Beat the sugar with the eggs. You should know it is ready cause the mix become soft. The more you beat it, the more soft will result the brownies.
3. While you beat, start melting the butter and the chocolate, use a low flame for it.
4. When done with the beat, mix the results from points 2 and 3. Is important to notice i say
mix, not
beat. Finally, mix the flour. Again, and sorry for repeat, don't beat at this point or the brownies will result like a bread.
5. Put the final result in the mold/plate you choose. If it is a plate, you could cut the brownie into pieces once is done, or in a
baking mold case you have one.
IMPORTANT: If the plate you choose does not prevent the cakes to stick at, you should prepare it with butter and flour to avoid the mix stick at the plate.
6. Place it in the oven. According how strong is you home's oven, start checking it at 30 minutes of cook. You can know it is done if you insert a knife into the brownie and when pulled back, it is clean. When done, you may let it rest for 10 minutes in the oven if it is not dark enough, and 10 minutes outside the oven and is done!
Why is it easy? Because can be done in less than 1:20 hours: 30 minutes mixing, 40 hour or less cooking!
If you want to get more into new flavors, you can try to bake a rice cake! Easier than brownies since all ingredients should be already in your home. You will need:
- 1/2 cup of coked rice. It can be a old rice you left into your fridge, but is better to make a new one just with salt.
- 2 eggs.
- 1/2 flour cup.
- 1 little milted butter/oil spoon.
- Sugar at taste. 1 spoon should be enough.
1. Start setting up the oven at 180 Celsius.
2. In a bowl, put the rice and splash it with a spoon.
3. Add the eggs and start beating it.
4. While beating, add the sugar and keep the beat until the sugar lost his form and is totally mixed. The more you beat, the better and softer will result the cake.
5. Start mixing with the flour, just mix, don't beat unless the sugar hasn't lost his form. In that case you should keep beating. You will know the mix is done when the flour have totally mix.
6. Cook for about 50~60 minutes, same trick with the knife, let it rest in the oven 10 minutes after shutting it down, then 20 in the outside and try it while still hot! Will be crunchy!
Hopes you try at least the brownies, will notice it is softer than most ones hahaha. Bon appetit!
About the games, i am in :D
