Cookie Recipe


November 28th, 2009

These cookies are amazing. My friends go gaga for them. They’re so tasty and easy to make!

Mmmm, cookies

Mmmm, cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 170g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup castor sugar (regular white sugar if you don’t have any caster. I think caster is less chunky?)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (I always use more. Usually double)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (hah. Or more. I use Cadbury Chocolate Chips, they’re the yummiest)
  • 1. Preheat oven to 165c (That’s 330f, for those of you who still use ye olde system)

    2. Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl. This is so there’s no lumps in it, which makes it easier

    3. Mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar together, until it’s blended. Then add the vanilla essence and eggs, and blend all that until it’s a creamy mix. Actually, it looks kinda gross. Add the flour/baking soda/salt mixture to this, and stir it all together until it looks like actual cookie dough (and tastes it!). Throw the choc chips into this, and stir them through, so you don’t get fail cookies with like, three choc chips.

    4. Spoon this onto a lined baking tray. I get about six to a tray, but as you can see, I make ginormous cookies.

    5. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are a nice brown colour. Let them cool before moving them, or they’ll break apart

    6. Enjoy. These things are like crack!

    5 things that give me a happy for reasons I can’t explain


    October 10th, 2009

    Topic given to me by Emma.

    1. Kittycat paws

    2. Glee

    Glee FoxGlee is my favourite new show. It’s uplifting, fun, and just full of hope. There’s moments where you’ll want to cry, but they’re more than balanced out by moments where you’ll just want to hug someone. The music is also incredibly – so many legitimately talented singers.





    3. Epic LiveJournal Comment Fests

    I don’t know why, but it’s just so fun to talk to people through LJ comments, especially when it hits over a few hundred comments. It’s even more fun when you look back after a while!





    4. Cheesy Music

    b00005qitp-02-lzzzzzzzI live for this stuff. The cheesier, the better. It’s terrible and soulless but dammit, does it make me want to jump up and dance like I just got electrocuted. Or, in the other end, sing along like my heart was just broken by Jensen Ackles. Power ballads, 90s pop, girl groups, boy bands…







    5. The Baby-Sitters Club

    babysitters-clubI started reading this series when I was seven. I haven’t stopped since. They’re definitely my guilty pleasure. Sure, the characters eventually because two character-trait shadows of their former self and the books had more inconsistencies than Twilight, but they’re cheesy fun. Especially Abby’s books, and Stacey’s books. When I grow up, i want to be Kristy Thomas. But less like a fascist dicator in jeans and a sweater.

    New layout! I like it. It’s clashy, but hopefully not too blinding!

    Things that have happened lately that have made me a very happy Nay:

    - I met the cast of Glee. Sonya and I both went, actually. It was fairly amazing – they’re all so gorgeous in person, and sweet! I’ve decided that I’d happily marry anyone on that show – including the girls. It really doesn’t matter which one. I’m not picky, and they’re all amazing. Chris Colfer may be the cutest short guy (okay, 5’7) I have seen in my life.

    - After the Glee meet and greet, we went to a filming of Rove (an Australian TV show). Despite standing for several hours, and everything running two hours late, it was pretty fun. We were on camera for approx. .0002 of a second, does that make us famous?!

    - I have a ticket to go see Cobra Starship in March! It’s actually the day after my birthday, so I plan on having a line party. There will be cake and shenanigans.

    The only thing we’ll move is our butts to the beat


    August 4th, 2009

    Okay, here’s the thing. If I’m to be completely, 100%, keepin’ my pants safely not on fire honest, I’m a terrible blogger. Sure,  my Twitter is updated more often than what could be considered normal, but actual blogging? God no.

    With that said, this is a way for me to force myself to update. If I have to pay for this, I’m making it worth my while, dammit.

    And with that out the way…

    I guess I’d better start thinking of real blogging topics, right? This is mostly so I can check stuff! I swear. Really.
