cookies
Prep time

minutes
Cooking time

minutes

Ingredients

  • 75 g white sugar

  • 150 g brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 115 g unsalted melted butter

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 150 g all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • 150 g chocolate chips or chunks

Directions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
  • Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
  • Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula. (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavour and deeper colour, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavour will be.
  • Preheat the oven to 180° C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 10 cm of space between cookies and 5 cm of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
  • Cool completely before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Pan de Plátano – Banana Bread

Banana Bread contains a lot of proteins as it has oats and banana. It is better when the bananas are ripe as it is easier to smash them, and they taste better when they are mixed with all the ingredients.

Not many desserts, or afternoon snacks have positive “side-effects”, but here are some for banana bread:

   It helps to reduce cholesterol
   It has a great supply of vitamins
   It reduces fatigue and tiredness
   It stimulates the nervous system and the intestinal function
   It helps in weight loss
   It is rich in antioxidants
   It is probiotic
   It prevents hypothyroidism and helps with bronchitis

Ingredients

  • 500 grams of whole wheat flour

  • 1 liter of milk

  • 4 eggs

  • a pinch of salt

  • a mixer

  • a big bowl

  • a pan

  • a teaspoon of oil

  • a soup spoon

Directions

  • Take a large bowl and put the flour, milk, eggs and salt in the bowl.
  • Mix everything together with the mixer until there are no more lumps in the batter.
  • Take the pan, put it on the fire, put a teaspoon of oil in it and divide the oil over the pan.
  • Take a soup spoon and then divide some batter in the middle of the pan with the soup spoon. You can also add slices of cheese at this point.
  • Let the pancake bake until the top is completely dry. Turn the pancake over with a spatula and bake for about a minute more until both sides are lightly browned.
  • Repeat until the batter is used up. You can still put Dutch syrup on it, but this is not necessary and of course not very healthy.
