3 Birds, 1 Stone

 Masking, while baking, while blogging!

Bird 1 - Beauty Regimen!

Love this brand. This mask in particular is great for sensitive skin.

Bird 2: Baking! Today I'm making short bread cookies in chocolate.

This is my self made cookbook. All of the recipes I've created, along with the ones passed down to me are in here. TOP SECRET! :)

BUT! Here is the recipe:
large sugar crystals
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 lbs. butter or about 2 cups. (I use futter - Made up word for fake butter in a spread.)
1 bag semi sweet chocolate morsels
wax paper

Mix all ingredients into a soft dough
Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 min.

Flour the counter surface.Roll out and cut into shapes. I hand cut my own to give it a more "home made" look.

Sprinkle large sugar crystals on top

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 min. or until sides are golden on a non stick cookie sheet

(While my cookies were baking, I removed the mask.)


Wait for cookies to cool.

Boil a pot of water and then set a metal bowl on top. Lower heat.

Stir chocolate morsels in bowl constantly until melted.

Take bowl off heat and dip cooled cookies half way into the melted chocolate.

refrigerate on wax paper.

 

Done!
