Crunchy cookies with walnuts, almonds and dark chocolate.

(Em português)


During the last holiday, in which I've been with my family, I've baked these cookies for us.
They are super crunchy, hence they were a hit.
I've added chopped dark chocolate, almonds and walnuts. I only think they are a bit too sweet, mas sugar is what makes the cookies crunchy after all.

Here am I, returning to the blog after many (nice) happenings which kept me busy

for a couple days.

Today I bring you a cookie recipe that got the approval of my friends on the last time

we went to Ibirapuera park together.

Biscuits to serve with coffee or tea.

This recipe is repeated, except for two details: the flavor and shape.

These are made with the same dough used in alfajores, and are good

to serve with tea because they're very light.

Cupcakes for Santa Fé.

Lucas and Ariane, friends who study fashion design, had to make for class something that

related palate to a brand, for example something to serve at an inauguration party.

They chose Santa Fé, Arianes's brand of bags and purses, and asked for some help with the cupcakes.

Well, in the first batch I used a recipe which I didn't know, and the result was the disaster you can

see in the picture above. But the day was saved by Edi's chocolate cake recipe. Whew!

Peanut butter chocolate cups.

Remember reese's?

These were supposed to be like them. Here is where I got the recipe.

I think it didn't really come out similar to reese's, but it was good.

And people here said they don't mind that I keep trying until I reach the perfect recipe. :P

A refreshment for this heat wave.

I bought molds and made popsicles!
The secret to success, according to a site I've read [it's in Portuguese], is not allowing the water to freeze completely.
Because when that happens the results are just big ice rocks.
Well, to make creamier homemade icecream or popsicles, there are three basic methods.
