And here comes the second Cookie. (Main recipe from usa-kulinarisch.de, but I changed it again)

For approx. 32 Peanut Butter Cookies you need…

120g flour
1/2 tea spoon backing powder
1/2 tea spoon natron
a pinch of salt

125g margarine, room temperature
125g peanut butter, room temperature (I used peanut butter „crunchy“ with peanut pieces)
100g brown sugar
100g white sugar
1 egg

oven baking temperature: 175 C°
baking time: 10 – 12 minutes

1. Mix slightly flour, backing powder, natron and a pinch of salt slightly together.
2. In another bowl: Mix peanut butter, margarine and sugar until the mixture becomes creamy. Add the egg and continue mixing.
3. Put the flour-mixture to the creamy texture and mix mix mix….
4. Roll the cookie dough into a ball and flatten with a fork > ensure there is sufficient space between the cookies!
5. Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes until they become gold brown and let them cool completely on a rack.

PS. Enjoy your chewy US-Cookies with a glass of milk!

*mhmmmm* Cooooookies!  I am crazy about crunchy American cookies. The last time I tried to make American Cookies…. they failed!!  See my post here. In the meantime I know why they have ended up like normal cookies, I forgot the most important ingredient for a real American Cookie: Brown sugar. Well, you can make your cookies with white sugar but after you use brown sugar you will definietily see the difference. Brown sugar is worth its weight in gold! On bakingsheet.blogspot.com I found a good description of brown sugar used for cookies:

Some home bakers will tell you that the secret to a good cookie is using brown sugar instead of white. I don’t think that this is actually any kind of secret at all, but I will agree that brown sugar can add a unique flavor to a cookie. Brown sugar is basically white sugar that has had some molasses added back to it. This gives it a deeper flavor, and consequently produces more flavorful cookies. Molasses also helps to keep the cookies moist, so a cookie made with brown sugar will be slightly chewier than one made with white sugar.

The main recipe is from usa-kulinarisch.de, but I changed the quantity of the ingredients. The whole page is in German so I translated it in English:

For approx. 32 Chocolate Chip Cookies you need…

300g flour
100g ground hazelnut
1/2 tea spoon backing powder
1/2 tea spoon natron
a pinch of salt

125g margarine, room temperature
100g brown sugar
100g white sugar
one package of vanilla sugar
1 egg

100g roughly chopped black chocolate
100g roughly chopped milk chocolate
(or alternatively you can use chocolate chips)

oven baking temperature: 175 C°
baking time: 10 – 12 minutes

1. Mix flour, ground hazelnut, backing powder, natron and a pinch of salt slightly together.
2. In another bowl: Mix margarine and sugar until the mixture becomes creamy. Add the egg and continue mixing.
3. Put the flour-mixture to the creamy texture, add 2/3 of your chopped chocolate and mix everything well.
4. Roll the cookie dough into a ball, sprinkle the rest of your chocolate on the dough and flatten with a knife > ensure there is sufficient space between the cookies!
5. Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes until they become light brown and let them cool completely on a rack.

PS. American Cookies + a glass of milk = dream team! The recipe of my second American Cookie (as you can see on the photo) follows tomorrow.

Bokura Ga Ita ★僕等がいた ★ We were there

“Nanami Takahashi is a high school student entering her first year. Immediately on her first day however, she becomes the victim of a practical joke by the school’s most popular guy, Motoharu Yano, who coincidentally also ends up in her class. While the two get off to a rocky start, they soon find themselves falling in love with one another and begin dating. But their relationship is marred by Yano’s past which includes the death of Yano’s previous girlfriend, Nana Yamamoto, and the betrayal surrounding her death. To make matters more complicated her younger sister, Yuri, is in the same class as Yano and Nanami. As Yano struggles to come to grips with Nana’s death and his unresolved feelings for her, so too must Nanami learn to understand Yano if the two hope to continue their relationship with one another.” (animenewsnetwork.com)

The Anime-Fever has finally caught me up again  A silence romantic anime with sad and amusing stories. I really like the art of the anime, how do you say… the style, the drawing art gives the characters and the surroundings a soft touch.

Wohoo~ and the live act movie will be released soon
