Cookies, cookies and more!!!

Hi, everybody!
Today is being a raining and cloudy day outside... More cloudy than rain by itself, but... Anyways, it makes me feel in a "treat mood". Yeah! I need sugar!!! LOL And the easiest way to get sugar is cookies and I decided to try two different things.

First things first!

1st experience... It takes...

2 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 cup of water
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 table spoon of margarine
1 tea spoon of baking powder
(Yep! Until now sounds like the dough recipe, but let's add...)
3/4 cup of sugar
2/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
Some raisins if you want

How to make it

Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the oil and margarine. The water will be the just enough amount to make it soft but not sticking on the hand or on the bowl. Like the dough, it won't grow a lot, but I suggest to make them small (like hand size). This batter is very soft, so if they are small it will be easier to keep in your hand.
I suggest to bake it at 350oF. Because of the size, 10 minutes will probably enough. When they look baked poke one of them with a fork. It's cooked if the fork is dry. Because of its texture, it's a good batter to work with and give different shapes.
Again, to brush a little bit of butter, margarine or egg on it will give a "health look".

2nd experience... It takes

1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 egg
1/2 cup of butter

How to make it

Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl and then add the egg and butter/margerine. Make very small balls (1 or 2 inch) and lots of room between them. They will need this space, not because they grow, but they become flat. Bake them at 350oF and pay attention, because they bake really fast. Take them off the oven when you can see the side becoming a little brown. And definetely, definetely wait until it is cool to remove them. If you do not wait they will break. The right moment is when you try to spirel the cookie softly and it obey your movement.

Oh there was also a site where they suggested 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, but I really didn't taste any difference. If you want, you may add them too.

You can add anything to them to get more flavour or at least different ones. It can be cinnamon, nutmeg, oatmeal, raisins, chocolate (of course!!!). Let your mind and stomach guide you... hehehe

Good luck and bon appetit!!! :)

Not so mental notes: Mike liked the 1st experience, but just with cinnamon and the 2nd one with chocolate chips... But who does not like chocolate? :P
