How To | Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies. . . with Cinderella :)

Today Cinderella and I had an exciting adventure together. . . baking cookies! She did pretty much everything by herself, I only helped her with the measurements and the oven.

I'm also making this into a How To post, just for fun! :)

So let's get started!

You need. . .

1 cup of butter

3/4 cups of brown sugar

1/3 cup of white sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon of vanilla

1 teaspoon of baking soda and 2 teaspoons of hot water mixed together

2 1/2 cups of flour

1 cup of chocolate chips. Well, the recipe asks for only 3/4 cups of chips, but we like lots of chips. . . 

And one happy baker! :)

First add the butter and both sugars into a mixing bowl

and stir it up 

until it looks like this. 

Add in the eggs

and stir that up well. 

Add the vanilla

and let the batter mix for about 2 minutes. 

Umm. . . ? 

"I'm not doing anything. . ."

"Well, since I don't think anyone's looking. . ." 

Add in all the flour. . .

And do NOT turn the mixer on full speed. Looks like I forgot to tell Cinderella that :P Oh well, it adds excitement, doesn't it? :)

Now the batter's done! Let's scoop them into nice round balls and lay them on a tray. 

Change of minds. Let's use ice cream scoops instead. SO much easier! :)

Toblerone. . . !

"Don't worry, I'm not touching, see?"

"I'm innocent! (I hope she doesn't see the chocolate
on my mouth!)"

Put the cookies in an oven. The oven should be preheated to 350 degrees. The cookies will take 10 - 20 minutes to cook. 

Yay! They're done! Now place the cookies on a cooling rack. 

And you're done!

Mmmm. . .

How To | Apple Crisp

Here is a very simple apple crisp recipe. It's really, really easy!  I'll add the whole recipe at the end of the post.

So, first you wash all your apples. 

Next you peel them,

And chop them into cubes,

Then add them into a bowl with cinnamon, flour, and 

a sprinkling of sugar.

Mix it all together until everything is evenly

distributed,

Then stick it into a baking pan.

Now time for my favourite part: The Crust!

First, melt your butter.

And get a cup of sugar,

and flour,

And oats,

Then dump it all into a bowl and stir.

Oh, and don't forget the baking powder

and baking soda!

When you're done, it should look like this.

Add the crust on top of the apples

(sorry, no picture)

And put it in the oven and bake at 350 degrees

for 45 minutes to an hour.

The crust should be a nice golden brown.

And you're done! Enjoy!

6 C of Apples (6 apples should be enough if they're big)

1 tbsp of flour

1 tsp of cinnamon

1 tsp of lemon juice (optional - for sweeter apples)

1 C of Oats

1 C of Flour

1 C of Brown Sugar

1/4 tsp Baking Powder

Reduce amount of sugar if using sweeter apples and add lemon juice to give more tartness.
