Hugely curious about the stats of this. I'm testing a theory. Elaborate in the tags if you please.

Please reblog!

If you’re an American federal employee and got an email saying “it’s ok to quit your job.” Do not, for the love of everything, quit your job. This is purely a scare tactic to get rid of as many people as possible without legal consequences.

Chocolate Chip Shortbread cookies

(Marks & Sparks copycat recipe)

(for @paula-in-dreamland, because she asked)

So full disclosure: I found this recipe online around ten years ago, but no idea where because the link appears to be broken. Ah well. It's not an exact copycat, but it's good enough for me and I love these better than actual c.c. cookies, probably because of the obscene amounts of butter in each cookie. The originals might be British but I am American so deal with the measurements as is.

Ingredients:

8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temp

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 egg yolks

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (i sometimes add another quarter cup; you do you)

Instructions:

Cream butter and sugar together for 1-2 minutes. It will be fluffy-looking. Like a unicorn.

Add salt, vanilla, and egg yolks, and beat until smooth.

Add flour one scoop at a time and mix until incorporated. It'll be thick, like peanut butter.

Add chocolate chips. Maybe some more chocolate chips. A couple more? Yeah, that looks good.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to at least 1/4" thick. (Thicker is fine, too, just adjust your bake time accordingly.) I like to aim for a rectangle the size of a regular piece of paper. (8-1/2 x 11, or slightly shorter than an A4 if you're European and still yelling about how much two sticks of butter weighs. It's 226 gram, btw.)

Cut the dough into even squares or rectangles. Or triangles. Or circles. Or hell, cut out tiny Bucky Barneses for all I care, go wild.

Bake on a lined* cookie sheet at 325F for 12-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. (*Lined with parchment paper or silicone mats. You can get cheap ones at IKEA, they're the bomb, and you will never have cookies stuck to your cookie tray again.)

Hide the cookies from your children and your husband, or you will not have any cookies and then you will be sad. Like Bucky Barnes. Probably should have made a second batch of Steve Rogerses or Clint Bartons. Ah well, next time.

I've been really into 1920s fashion lately and that's how I came across flapper fanny, what a diva.

Two steps forward, one step back, but I couldn’t resist all the new Seb stills.  I needed some more Bucky messy bun in my life.  Let’s pretend this is Bucky sitting for Steve.
