Chocolate Cookies

I made this recipe by combining some gingerbread recipes, and change most of the ingredients and turn this into a chocolate cookies recipe :) My boyfriend (and his mom) loves it. *blushing*
Also my lil brother, even he tried to steal a whole jar for himself. @_@

Ingredients :

4 egg yolks
2-3 egg whites
around 200 gr of sugar
300 gr butter
550 gr flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 sachets of your fav instant hot choco powder / instant choco milk powder
cocoa powder (use as much as you like until it tastes as you want it)

How to :
1.Mix the butter and the sugar until it soften and kinda puffy. Then add the eggs gradually.
2. Sift the cocoa powder & instant hot choco / choco milk powder, baking soda and the flour.
3. Add the flour into the batter gradually. Mix it evenly.
4. Wrap everything up with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
5. Leave on room temperature for about 15 min, then cut it up with cookie cutter.
6. Heat the oven, and bake it at 180 celcius degree for about 15 minutes depends on how thick is your cookie dough.

Note :
- If you don't have cookie cutter, you could make one from a paper. Draw the design on a paper (star / man / heart-shaped), then cut it up with a scissors. then you just put it on the cookie dough ( that have been flattened before) then cut with a knife according to the paper.

Beef Lasagna

Today's recipe is Beef Lasagna, requested by Casey :)
Lasagna is some kind of pasta that comes in form of sheets. You may buy it in most supermarket that sells imported goods.
This dish is not hard, but you must be careful.
My boyfriend and my little brother love this :)

Ingredients :

250 gr lasagna
salt, pepper, and sugar

for meat sauce:
500 gr minced beef
1 onion
2 cups of chicken/beef stock
lots of tomato sauce :p
oil

(you may add another ingredients you like such as carrot, real tomatoes)

for cheese sauce:
around 300 gr grated cheddar cheese (kraft cheese)
2 slices of bega cheese (or another cheese that may melt)
around 500 ml milk
2 small packs of butter
(you may add another ingredients such as cream cheese, dairy cream)

How to make the meat sauce:
1. Dice the onion evenly (and carrot or tomatoes if you want to add it)
2. In a wok (or big frying pan) heat some oil, and put the onion (wait for a moment and then the carrot) until it smells nice and looks withered.
3. Put the minced beef, and stir until it changes colour.
4. Put the chicken/beef stock, tomato sauce, salt and pepper, little bit sugar (and tomatoes), then stir. Add tomato sauce until it looks red enough.
5. Taste it, if it's too sour/too tasty, add more water. If it's just not right but you don't know what is it, add some more salt and sugar.

How to make the cheese sauce:
1. Melt the butter
2. Put the milk (and/or dairy cream) stir until thick
3. Put the bega chesse and grated cheese (and cream cheese), stir evenly
4. Put salt and pepper.
5. Taste it and fix it.

How to put everything together :
1. On a cake pan, or thermostable bowl. Put the meat sauce, then the cheese sauce, then the lasagna. Do this until it form layers of meat-cheese-lasagna-meat-cheese-lasagna-..... The top layer must be cheese.
2. Heat the oven on 180 celcius
3. Bake the lasagna for about 10-20 minutes.

Note : Make sure you put a lot of meat sauce on the top of lasagna layer. The moisture is really important to make the lasagna cooked softly.
