Me, myself, and I
Hey guys!
So i figure it was probably really confusing for you all having me
start this blog without a proper introduction! So this post is going to be dedicated
to tell you a little something about me :)
-My name's sarah! I'm 19 years young and I'm a psychology student in Montreal Canada!
-I love to bake for others/myself, it somehow calms me from all my other worries and thoughts!
-Me and my family are a very tight bunch. I have two younger brothers (14, and 17) and a mother that I'm extremely close with!
-I'm new to all of this blogging world, so please bare with me :)
-I'm a total animal lover! I'm no vegetarian however I have not touched a piece of red meat in 3 years now! I do not include Poultry and seafood much in my daily live however I would still find it difficult to completely cut them out. I'm trying slowly yet surely though ;)
-I live in a house with 4 cats, and 1 bassethound (a dog)! Sadly no that's not my dog! Of all the animals of the cats named Pasha and I have quite the bond! He's my baby and he's very much like a dog, following me around and meowing at me, although I always imagine its him talking(I swear thats not weird)!
That's my baby :) & my room!
-I try my best to live a healthy lifestyle. I try to work out at least four times a week and eat a balanced diet! I absolutely love fruits. However this does not mean that I dont indulge once in a while, after all my favorite thing to bake is cookies :)
-I'm fluent in english AND french and I lived in North Carolina for a good part of my teenage years where I have made some very tight knit friendships!
-This blog will be based on the goodies I bake and perhaps a bit of my life :) ! Get to know me, I love new friends!

FINALLY!
Finally, I'm using this blog for what I started it in the first place, to show you guys some cookies!
Okay so fast fact about me number 1, I absolutely cannot help myself to any dessert that consists of almonds/pistachios/sesame.
Its so true, even so that my favorite dessert is marzipan.
WHAT? You don't know what marzipan is?
You poor poor child have been deprived!
Marzipan is a
Still aren't sure what this is? It's these types of lil animals usually sold seperately in clear plastic containers at bakerys!
So of course when I was looking on the internet and found a chocolate chip cookie recipe that contained marzipan in it, well lets just say that the expression jumping for joy could not even help me to describe my enthusiasm!
Okay, So I admit my lack of photography skills don't make these puppies seem too too special. HOWEVER don't be fazed, with simply just a little more work its easy to see how these tasty treats made me eat half of them in one sitting. WHOOPS? Is that why my picture has so little cookies? Yes and no, I cut the recipe in half, like I did these cookies to show you the middle!
OMG! Do you see all that yummy marzipan in the middle of the cookie? I mean come on! These were, well delicious! I would of wished for maybe cakey-ness but I'll honestly be making these cookies again in no time! Maybe I'll just add a little bit less flour though! If you eat them warm like me though, and slighty undercooked so that the bottom is still super moist (at 10 minutes)
1 cup of softened butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup (about 4 oz) marzipan
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup bag good quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup slivered almonds, lightly toasted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a stand or electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars together until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add to wet ingredients along with the chocolate chips. Mix until just combined. Scoop onto a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet with a medium cookie scoop. Make a small hole in the small ball of cookie dough and insert the marzipan directly in the middle! Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just golden crisp on the outside. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
