Mexican American Cookies

With the medium mixing bowl you are going to add 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt and 1 ½ teaspoons of baking soda, stir together with a fork so the dry ingredients are mixed well. Now, with the large mixing bowl you are going to cream together using the electric mixer, one cup of unsalted butter, one cup of sugar, one cup of packed brown sugar, one cup of peanut butter and two eggs. Once you have creamed together these ingredients on medium for at least two minutes, you will slowly add the dry ingredients a little at a time with your electric mixer on a low setting into the large mixing bowl. Once all the dry ingredients are mixed thoroughly with the wet ingredients, it is time to scoop your dough onto the cookie sheet. Using your cookie scoop, scoop the dough and place it onto the pan in rows, keeping the balls of dough one inch apart from each other. Continue this until the pan is filled. Using your fork you will create a crisscross pattern on top of the balls, flattening then slightly. If the dough starts sticking to the fork, place the fork into the glass of water that you prepared and continue the pattern. Once all are completed with the pattern, place into the preheated oven, set a timer for ten

Also the tortillas are a much smaller size. Commonly used beverages in México are Licuado de

Traditional Hispanic food can be identified by the appearance of the tortillas and the thick, rich enchilada sauces that can be green, brown or red and resemble a thick gravy. Rice and refried beans typically are served inside of the tortillas or on the side, and this dish can be referred to as an enchilada or as a chimichanga if it is deep fried on the outside. Melted cheese over the top of the dish is also a good indication of Hispanic food.

While the over is preheating, grab a bowl and whisk together the flour and baking powder or baking soda. In a separate bowl, combine the butter and both of the sugars; use an electric mixer at a medium speed until your batter becomes light and fluffy. When batter is at this point you can now reduce the speed of the electric mixer to low, and add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat these ingredients together until they are well combined. Now it is time to combine your two bowls together. After both of your bowls are combined you can add any additional ingredients, like the chocolate chips. After you have stirred everything together and created your dough, place tablespoon-sized balls of the dough on a baking sheet, these need to be at least two inches apart from one another. When your oven is preheated, place the baking sheet inside, but make not to burn yourself! Bake the cookies for about 12 to 15 minutes.

Soften the margarine or butter in the microwavable bowl in the microwave for fifteen seconds. After you add the margarine to the sugar, mix them together. Add the peanut butter to the batter then mix again. In the small cup crack each egg separately, and add the yolk part to the batter and stir. Set the mixture aside for the time being. In the other large bowl measure out and sift the flour, baking soda, and salt. Once sifted together, carefully add to the sugar and butter mixture. Blend together carefully. It may take a little elbow grease. Once completely blended, add the vanilla and stir till it is mixed on. The hard part is now over. Make sure that there are no lumps of sugar, pieces of eggshell, and clumps of baking soda. Nobody wants to bite into those! From the batter, scoop out a teaspoon size amount out and roll in your hands until it looks like a sphere. Roll it again, but this time, roll it around in 1/2 cup of white sugar until completely coated. Once achieved, place on the baking sheet. Continue this process of shaping the cookie until twelve and been formed and are two inches apart from each other on the cookie sheet. Take the fork and gently press two fork prints on each cookie, one
