Butter cookies/Galletas de mantequilla

Again, I've been baking but posting less than half of it. Here go some butter cookies I made the other day for my friends at college. Most of them didn't actually have chocolate but just because I didn't have enough home.

This recipe is just perfect, seriously, the cookies totally melt in your mouth! I found it in the blog Kanela y Limón, the original recipe had dulce de leche (an argentinan kind of caramel) between each two cookies but I didn't have any home so I didn't use it but I bet it would have been delicious too!.

The shape of the cookies in the recipe is very different because it uses a piping bag and a curly tip I didn't have so I just rolled the dough like in any other cookies' recipe and they turned out perfect!!


Ingredients:
250 g flour
125 g unsalted butter
60 g confectioners' sugar
30 ml sunflower oil
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Melted chocolate (optional)

Recipe:
Mix the butter until it's soft and creamy. Add sugar, mix and add oil. Whisk well. Sift th flour with the baking soda and add it to the other mix. Knead with your hands. 

Preheat the oven to 170ºC. Roll the dough and make the desired shapes for the cookie (they're actually good for decorating too). Put them on a baking sheet leaving a little space in between the cookies and bake them for only a few minutes, without them having much colour. Take them out of the oven and let them cool completely.

If desired, melt the chocolate with spoon of oil and soak half of the cookie into the chocolate and leave the other half without it (or do whatever you want here, you can make them any way you want). Let the chocolate cool completely and enjoy!!!!

By the way, I met Alma from Objetivo Cupcake yesterday in Expotarta, besides being really talented (which I already knew), she is the NICEST PERSON EVER!!!!!!!!! I'M IN LOVE!

De nuevo he estado horneando pero posteando la mitad de lo que hago... Aquí van unas galletas de mantequilla que hice el otro día para mis compañeros de la universidad. La mayoría no llevaban chocolate pero simplemente porque no tenía el suficiente en casa!

Esta receta es perfecta, en serio, las galletas se deshacen en la boca!!

Encontré la receta en el blog de Kanela y Limón, la original llevaba dulce the leche entre cada dos galletas pero no tenía en casa así que no lo utilicé pero seguro que hubiese estado muy rico!.

La forma de las galletas en la receta es muy diferente porque utiliza la manga pastelera y una boquilla rizada pero como no tenía simplemente estiré la masa como hubiese hecho con otra galleta y salieron perfectas igualmente!

Por cierto SIIIIIIIIIIII la que veis en la foto es Alma de Objetivo Cupcake en Expotarta, además de tener el talento que ya sabía que tenía es MAJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISIMA, ME HE ENAMORADO!!!!!!!

  21. Sabes, soy adicta a las galletas, creo que por eso no hago mucho en casa, porque termino devorandome todas, lo cual es un problema cuando los kilos se desbordan...ja,ja,ja...!!!
    Estas galletas se ven buenísimas, no siempre las que se hacen con manga se pueden conseguir estirarlas, qué bueno que estas sí, porque hacerlas con manga da flojera.
    Así que estuviste en la Expo Tarta, y conociste a Alma, qué suerte, yo sigo su blog desde hace un tiempo, me encanta. Una pena vivir tan lejos.
