How to make cookies!!

In this post I´m gonna show you how to prepare cookies!! I've used cookie cutters to make beautiful shapes, in this case, for Christmas.

Ingredients of the cookies:

- 500 gr of flour for desserts (or flour with yeast)

- 250gr of butter

- 3 egs

- Half a glass of brown sugar

- Half a glass of white sugar

- A teaspoon of vanilla powder

- A pinch of salt

Ingredients of the glazed (to decorate the cookies):

- Two egg whites

- 330 gr of icing sugar

- 2 teaspoons of lemon juice

STEPS to prepare the cookies:

1.  Mix the eggs with the sugar and butter.

       2. Add the flour slowly and stir while you´re adding it. 
      3. You have to continue stirring until it becomes a thick dough.

If you want you can add chocolate chips to the dough. You can buy chocolate chips in a supermarket, but you can make them by your own if you want, you only have to put a chocolate bar into the fridge for two hours, then take it and cut the bar into little pieces with a knife. Mix the chips with the dough.

Preheat the oven into 180º. Then, take parts of the dough and start to make the shapes, like I said, I bought cookies cutters to make christmas trees, rabbits, bears, hearts and butterflies :)

Put the cookies into the oven during 10-15 minutes.

While the cookies are in the oven, we´re going to do the glazed. This is the last step because it gets tough if you don't use it quickly.


STEPS to prepare the glazed:

      1. Beat the egg whites until stiff.

      2. Add the lemon juice and the sugar and stir until it becomes a dough similar to whipped cream. 

      (I didn't have enough icing sugar, that´s why the glazed was too liquid). 

You can add food coloring.

Now we´re going to decorate the cookies with a piping bag, if you don´t have one, you can take a
freezer bag and make a hole in one end.

Then, left them until the glazed dries (three hours more or less). 

Now it´s time to eat them!!! Hope you like the post, and the cookies of course. These are the other cookies we made, with chocolate chips, deliciooouuus!!!
