Christmas-ish special: A recipe for chocolate chip cookies

-

 Hello there! Welcome back to another post on this blog, glad to see you there! So this is unusual topic for my blog because as you know I usually do art related topics, but it's December, Christmas is "soon", and today is St. Nicholas' day (hope I wrote that right), so why don't we make something special today? I've got an easy recipe for you to make some delicious cookies (tried out by myself, and even though I am not really skilled at cooking and baking, they turned out perfectly) soooo let's go!


Time needed to make: about 2 hours (but depends on how long you leave mixture in the fridge).

Quantity: If made in walnut size 13-16 cookies.

You will need:

  • 240 g pastry flour
  • half of teaspoon baking soda
  • half of teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 145 g butter
  • 120 g sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 230 g chocolate (I used dark chocolate, but you can use any one you prefer or like)

Notes:

  • Do not add less sugar even if you use sweeter chocolate, because it is important for the texture
  • Do not skip salt, it brings out the scent of chocolate and you don't event feel the scent of salt
  • Instead of vanilla extract you can use vanilla sugar

Mixing & baking:

  • First mix butter and sugar with mixer. Butter should stay out of the fridge for a bit so the mixing is easier.
  • Add egg, mix it in, and then add baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  • Add vanilla extract and mix in.
  • While mixing add bit by bit flour until you have a nice dough-like texture.
  • Chop chocolate in tiny chunks (size as you like, I recommend at least 7 mm long so that the cookies don't come out too flat).
  • Add chocolate chunks to the mixture and mix in with your hands.
  • Leave the mixture in the fridge for at least one hour.
  • After taking the mixture out of the fridge make walnut sized balls and place in a tray.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes at 180°C.
  • After taking them out of the oven let cool in the fridge for 15-ish minutes and your cookies are ready! 
I really hope you aren't disappointed that I didn't make an art post today, and I hope you enjoyed this recipe! I will see you next Sunday 2 pm CET! Baiiii, lyy ❤

Why I don't like "art reposting" pages?

Hello there, I'm glad to see you here, happy New 2021, and we shall hope that it'll be better than 2020. Now, today's theme is "Why I don't like art reposting pages?" If you have Instagram you've probably seen at least one art reposting page, and if you haven't you'll see what I'm talking about in a minute.                                       ::  What are art reposting pages? Art reposting/Art featuring has been really popular lately. Basically these are pages that download your artwork from your original account and repost it on theirs. They usually tag you to give you "credits", but sometimes they don't, and that is even worse.  :: How do they gain so much fame? If you've ever seen an art reposting page, you probably know that they usually have 80K+ followers. In my opinion they gain fame so fast, just because they are an amazing source of inspiration and daily content for everyone. They repost photos and videos, advertise

Prismacolor : The breaking leads?

Hello there, I am back.  And let me be honest with y'all, I have missed blogging A LOT. And from now on I will be posting on Sundays + in my free time. Soo every Sunday 2pm CET you can expect an art related post from me, enough chit-chatting let's go! Prismacolors have gotten worse throughout the time? I have watched some YouTube videos about this, and the fact that they changed over time. Soo I would say they have changed, but they haven't gotten worse if I am being honest. The formula got softer all at once so that was a huge upgrade, but else than that not really much (just design of the pencil). And they haven't gotten WORSE they've gotten BETTER, if you ask me, but yet that's just my opinion. The breaking leads? So I've heard a lot of people saying that their prismacolors' leads break A LOT. And let me tell you, I own a 72 pack for a year already, and I NEVER, NEVER EVER had a prismacolor lead break. So I was wondering : "Wait how the hell do t
