Three Kinds of Cookies That You Can Make in an Afternoon

Walnut Lace

These cookies are really thin and look like lace. You can shape them into cones or rolls, but then you need a really big cookie jar and you havew to make sure to put paper between them, or else they break. If you leave them flat, they taste the same even if they don't look all that fancy, and you need not be so careful with them.

You need:

100 grams of walnuts finely chopped (I put them in the blender)

100 grams of sugar

100 grams of butter

2 tablespoons of cream

Pour it all in a saucepan and stir till all is mixed. Then on a baking sheet, set down teaspoon fulls of cake mix, and leave at least 5 cm/2 inches between them, as they get really wide. Bake them at 175 center grades till they are light brown. Then pull the baking paper away from the baking sheet and leave them to cool on a flat surface.

Coconut Macaroons

You need:

4 egg whites

2 deciliters/1 cup of sugar

300 grams of shredded coconut

1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Whip the egg whites stiff, and then gradually add the sugar and whip till all the sugar is disolved. Then stir carefully in the coconut and the vanilla. Put the cookies with two teasppons on a baking paper and bake at 175 center grades till they are light brown on top.

Peanut Butter Cookies

You need:

8 tablespoons of wheat flour - which is 2 deciliters or 1 cup for those who can't be bothered to count that much
2 tablespoons of peanut butter

2 tablespooons of sugar

1 egg

50 gram soft butter

Mix all the ingredients, then divide the portion into 16 and roll them into a little balls that you put on a baking paper and press down a little bit with a fork. Bake them at 175 center grades till they are light brown.
