 How to make the cookies

  Cookies are very popular and reasonable sweets. I like it since I was a child because my grandmother and my mother often make it for me! My grandmother is a teacher of cooking, so she made delicious foods for me. And, I often cook something with her, it is very fun and happy. The first sweets I made with my grandmother was cookies! The cookies are simple, but very taster.

 My grandmother had made many kinds of cookies, such as icing cookies and ones needless cutting out. Through these experiences I began to want to make large quantities of cookies at a time. To achieve this, I came up with a no-fuss cookie recipe. This is the recipe I liked best after trying many different recipes!

1. First, sift the flour and the almond powder using the sieve.  And, chop the sliced almond. While these preparations are being made, bring the butter to room temperature.

2. Once the butter is soft, place it in a bowl. And,beat the butter with the whisk, add the sugar, and beat until the mixture turns white.

3. Next, crack the egg and separate the whites from the yolk. And then, add the egg yolk and the vanilla extract into the same bowl, and mixed them well.

4. Add the sifted flour and almond powder to the bowl from 3, and mix with the rubber spatula. When it starts to come together a little, add the cocoa powder and the sliced almond. Then, mix thoroughly until it forms a single mass.

   

5. Once the dough is well combined, wrap it in plastic wrap. And then, shape into a stick about 3 cm in diameter. Refrigerate the bars made in step 5 for 1 to 2 hours.

6. Remove the dough from the fridge and cut it into 5 mm thick pieces. They are then arranged on the baking sheet lined with the parchment paper.

7. Bake in a preheated oven at 170 ℃ for 15 minutes.

 Making the cookies is not so difficult, so I want you to try it! It is the best recipe for beginner who make sweets first time. This time I made cocoa cookies, but you can use strawberry powder or matcha powder instead of cocoa powder to make different flavor cookies!

 The main advantage of this recipe is that it easily makes large quantities of cookies. But not only that, if you make the dough and store it in the refrigerator, you can simply bake the cookies whenever you feel like eating them. Please give these cookies to many family members and friends! They will surely be delighted!
