One cookie for Hulk !

I'm so sorry for being absent. 
I had some difficulties to focus on light things those days.

I think often to the first sentence of Forrest Gump Movie, with the chocolate box, you know ?
This is really true.

We never know what will be our life. We have dreams, we have plans, we have wills ... 

Some can come true. Others no.

And the hardest part is to try to not feel frustration about wills which didn't come true.

But some days, you only see, as we say in french, "le verre à moitié vide" : glass is almost empty. 

When you look a glass with a half of water, you have the choice to see it half empty or half full.

This is how life looks like : are you a positive person and do you think you're watching the full part. Or... the empty part ?

The most of the time, I want to see it full !

Life is short and I want to laugh.

... What a stupid sentence, don't you think ? ...

I never knew someone who din't want to laugh.  

Really. Did you met someone who tells you : 

"Nooo ... I don't like to laugh. This is something who gives me wrinkle and makes my belly bounce, no, really, I HATE this feeling !"

If you met someone like this, most of all, RUN !

Don't stay close to this person, she must be Lord Voldemort ! Or worst : HULK !

And believe me, this one is not a funny guy !

Okay, except when he explodes Luki, in The Avengers.

And, if you notice, Luki doesn't laugh AT ALL ! 

What it means for sure that Hulk is not a funny guy...

Anyway, when I feel down this way, I bake.

Some smoke, others drink (Oh, I can drink too !), others run (... Oh, I can drink too...), as far as I'm concerned, I bake.

But to bake doesn't mean to EAT ! ... So I bake for my family. 

And my gnomette just adores cookies. The classical ones. With chocolate chips. 

But today, I don't have the energy to make several little cookies. 

So I bake just one enormous. 

That's fine, too ! 

Hulk would like it.

I'm sure you bake it better than me, but here's my recipe. If you've got some advices to make it better, just tell me ! 

Here's what you'll need : 

• 120 grammes of unsalted and soft butter
• 180 grammes of brown sugar
• 130 grammes of flour
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
• 200 grammes of chocolates chips.

 You oven must be preheat to 180°C (350° F / Th 6).

Step 1 :
Whisk together butter, egg and vanilla until all combined.

Step 2 : 
Then, mix together the dry ingredients : Sugar, flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder. Add them gently to the butter mixture. 

Step 3 : 
Then, add the chocolate chips and stir with a spatula. 

Step 4 : 
Pour the mixture as it falls, in a floured dish ! 

... And in the oven for 12 - 14 minutes. It depends how you like it. If you like it crunchy, you can wait for 15 minutes, but not more.

As my daughter eats the mixture raw, I don't let it cook too much. 

 Bon appétit !
