Two high school teens, who are best friends, Lara and Revna were continually exploring the beautiful city Istanbul for three years, until Lara had the opportunity to experience a whole one year in Charleston in the USA by AFS Exchange program. But this separation was not the end of their friendship and explorations, unlike it was a beginning. While Revna was continuing to get around in Istanbul's elegant streets, Lara was challenging her with her discoveries in Charleston. And now, after about two years Lara is going to study in the beautiful city Toulouse in France. This is again another beginning of an adventure for these friends after their funny 'intercontinental' competition. Now their page is dedicated to share the colorful memories of their friendship and their new discoveries both in Turkey and France, especially in İstanbul and Toulouse!

Christmas time: cookie craziness!

Besides these shining christmas trees and ornaments, one of the best things about christmas time is definitely the cookie craziness!! 
Here in Istanbul ı have been trying a couple of new cookie recipes and ı am very happy and proud to say that ı managed to bake all of them very well! They all tasted so yumm!! 
After trying new recipes,baking, tasting 
(and eating all of them!!) it is now to share :)) 
Lets begin with a recipe which ı took from a german baking book. I simply adore this book! All the recipes ı have tried till now were delicious!


This cookie recipe is so simple! All you need is :
200 gr cornstarch
50 gr flour
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
200 gr butter
1 teaspoon Buttervanille aroma
80 gr powdered sugar


First combine cornstarch and flour, then stir in vanilla extract, butter, aroma and powdered sugar. Mix together all the ingredients with a spatula or you can also use a hand mixer but be careful - the dough should be thick! Chill the dough for at least two hours. 
After chilling it is time to prepare the baking tray! If you want you can roll the dough and then cut into shapes like ı did:

 
(I also added some chocolate chips into some of them)

But cutting the dough always takes so much time and you usually regret that you decided to bake cookies! So what ı often prefer is just to make small balls from the dough and put them on the parchment paper which ı put on baking tray.
Of course it is sweet to have some cute looking cookies but after all the most important thing is the taste of it! And these ones tasted very well!
