Peppermint Chocolate Chunk Cookies

-



Hello!
  So, a couple of weeks ago when I was feeling especially creative and inventive, I made up a delicious peppermint chocolate chunk cookie recipe. It is fairly easy to make and I hope you enjoy it!

Enjoy! ; )

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup cane sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 tsp peppermint extract
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chunks (if you don't have chocolate chunks, semi-sweet chocolate chips work fine)

Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray two cooking sheets.
2. In a small bowl, combine all purpose flour, baking soda and salt.
3. Beat butter, cane sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Then add eggs and peppermint          extract one at a time.
4. Gradually beat in dry ingredients until fully incorporated. Add chocolate chunks.
5. Drop by tablespoon onto prepared sheets (about 1 1/2-2 inches apart)  and pop them into the              oven for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown.
6. When the cookies are out of the oven, let them cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.

Hello! So, for school, we had to do an African country report. One of the ways we presented our country to the rest of the class was to make a dish from our country and we had an African feast. My country was South Africa, so I made Ystervarkies. "Ystervarkie" means "hedgehog" in Afrikaans. A ystervarkie (the dessert) is a sponge cake coated in a chocolate syrup then rolled in coconut flakes. The coconut flakes are what is supposed to make this dessert resemble a hedgehog, but I don't really think it does. Regardless, they were delicious and I will definitely be making them again! Ystervarkies (South African lamingtons) Makes 25 ystervarkies. Ingredients Sponge cake: 3 tablespoons oil 1/3 cup (85 ml) milk 3 jumbo eggs or 4 smallish eggs 1 cup (250 ml) sugar 1 ½ cup (375 ml) flour 1 ½ teaspoons (7 ml) baking powder ½ teaspoon (2 ml) salt 1 teaspoon vanilla Syrup: ¾ cup (180 ml) boiling water 1 ½ cups (375 ml) sugar ½ t...

   Hi! One of my favorite series is the Willow Falls series. There are four books and each one is about a different girl, but they all go to the same middle school so they know of each other. All four girls are involved in an intriguing mystery about Willow Falls and eventually meet to solve it together. I recommend this series to tween girls. Happy reading! ~ Devyn
