How to make: Christmas cookies! 

Difficulty: Normal

Ingredients:

50 grs. of softened butter

3/4 cup of sugar

2 eggs

1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon of clove powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder

2 teaspoon of ginger powder

1/2 cup of honey

3 1/2 cups of sifted flour

2 teaspoon of baking powder 

Preparation:

Mix the butter and sugar together in a bowl until light and creamy.

Add the eggs, vanilla extract, clove, cinnamon and ginger powder.

Slowly incorporate the honey.

Gently whisk together until smooth.

Slowly add the flour and baking powder until the dough comes together.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Knead the dough until it's smooth 

Flour a surface and use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to a thickness of 2 or 3mm.

  Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut the dough! ♡

Pro tip: Make sure to grease and flour the baking pan so the cookies won't stick to it. I forgot to do it the first time and...

  Poor bunny :(

  OH NO! NO IT'S EARS!

Bake at 200 degrees for 7 minutes

  They're done! ♡

You can also make a cookie glaze to decorate your cookies with:

1 or 2 egg white (depending on the egg size. I had to use 2 eggs whites)

2 cups of powdered sugar

food dyes (optional)

your favorite cookie toppings!

Preparation:

Put the eggs whites in a bowl and slowly incorporate the powder sugar until smooth.

The cookie glaze hardens quickly so make sure to put the toppings inmediately! It's way funnier to decorate them with your family and/or friends. These are the ones I made with my family:

We didn't have any food dyes so they're all white, but they tasted really good nonetheless! 

Merry Christmas!

Just a psa: This blog is not dead, oh no! The thing is, i'm just able to cook on weekends, at least until Christmas is over. After that, I'll have the kitchen for myself for two whole months! Isn't that great? So please be patient. 

Talking about Christmas, guess what! I'll post an easy & delicious christmas cookies recipe right now. 

Stay tuned!

Cute blog!! I have a question about aguardiente, though! I'm in the US and not somewhere where I can get that-- do you know of an alternative I could use? Thanks!

Thank you very much! ♥

Yes, I do! You can use either gin or vodka. The only important thing is that the liquor you use must be transparent and make sure it isn't flavoured. Hope you enjoy it!

How to make: Cola de Mono

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

1 liter of milk

1 cup of water

1 jar of condensed milk

aguardiente

cloves, cinnamon sticks, vanilla sticks

5 tablespoon of coffee powder

Preparation:

Put a cup of water in a pot, add the cloves, cinnamon and vanilla sticks and bring it to boil.

When it hits the boil, turn off the heat, add the condensed milk and mix it well.

Once incorporated, add the milk.

Dissolve the coffee in a cup of hot water and add it to the pot.

Bring it to boil again.

When it hits the boil, turn off the heat and wait for it to cool down.

Once cooled down, add as much aguardiente as you like!

Strain the mixture to get rid off the cloves and cinnamon/vanilla sticks.

Bottle it and put it in the fridge.

Serve it cold!

For all my non-chilean followers:

What is "Cola de Mono"?

"Cola de Mono" (which literally translates to "monkey's tail") is a typical Chilean alcoholic drink. It's served around Christmas time, usually accompanied by Pan de Pascua and Christmas cookies. Although the recipe varies from house to house, it basically consists of:

Aguardiente

Coffee

Milk

Sugar (Or condensed milk)

Cloves

Cinnamon

Personally, I like to use condensed milk instead of sugar. When using condensed milk, the drink has a slightly denser consistency that reminds me of a Baileys. Either way, it tastes amazing!

Time to go grocery shopping!

I'll go buy the ingredients to make "Cola de Mono", "Pan de Pascua" and Christmas cookies.

mari yisus, you should cook pan de pascua without frutitas malas and only with almendras, nueces and i think mani, too?

Now that you say it... Yes! I should! I definitely should! Why didn't I think of it before?

It's also a good opportunity to introduce people to chilean cuisine. Thank you Cata!

you made the pork soup?

Sadly, nope! I did not have enough time to make the pork stock and i didn't have any bones either. Next time hopefully I'll be able to do it "the right way" :( I made the soup with a curry ramen flavor packet, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 cup of water.

Thanks for asking! ♥

Neapolitan mashed potatoes w/ spicy chicken topped with queso fresco and coriander 

Made this last night. It turned out better than expected! Mashed potatoes and mexican food, I never thought they would get along so well! This is my friend's new favorite.

In other news, I really need a better camera...

Are you planning to cook for christmas eve?

Yeah, I certainly do! I'm not sure what i am going to cook though. Well, "Christmas Cookies" are a must. No one in my family is a big fan of turkey so i guess I'll end up doing something like bacon wrapped steaks w/ rice and shrimps? Yes. I love shrimps. Everyone should. I think I'll also make canapés! For dessert I could make Suspiro Limeño...

Thanks for asking! ♥
