Breakfast
My day started with breakfast, I had a simple breakfast with bread, peanut butter and a cup of tea.
Baking Cookies
Then me and my wife started to prepare for our baking adventure 😌
To be really honest, I am not a pro at baking, but I do manage with some help from my lovely wife ☺️
We had planned to bake some cookies today. The recipe is quite simple really. And the ingredients required are also readily available in our kitchens.
| Item | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Butter (melted) | 250 gm |
| Egg Whites | 3 |
| Flour | 500 gm |
| Sugar | 300 gm |
| Salt | a pinch |
| Cocoa Powder (optional) | 2 tablespoon |
Step 1
Mix the flour with sugar and add the pinch of salt. Add the egg whites in the center of the mixture and mix with the help of a fork.
Step 2
Now add melted butter and knead with your hands to make the dough even and smooth.
Step 3 (optional)
We divided the dough into 2 parts, one with and one without Cocoa Powder.
Step 4
Now once the dough is ready, grease the pan with butter, and make medium sized cookie shapes. You can either use your hands to shape the cookies, or use a machine like the one I have.
Step 5
Now preheat your oven to 180° C and then put your pan inside. I want to point out here that I have a gas oven, and I have found out that I need to keep the temperature setting a little lower on the gas oven as compared to an electric oven to get the same effect. But I guess this will vary from one oven to another.
Step 6
Let the cookies bake for 20 minutes approximately, and then take them out.
Wait for cookies to cool down, and then you can enjoy home-baked cookies with your family ☺️
I had a wonderful time spending a day baking with my family. The involvement of the whole family in such small activities is what makes families so special. So when are you planning to bake with your family? 😉
