fazendo biscoitos! (making cookies!)

So I decided to make some all american cookies the other day, since im starting to miss my home cooking. The first difficult task is finding all of the ingredients....in another language! I wish I had taken some pictures of that.....
However me and my new lover, Andre, proceded to make our cookies yesterday afternoon, after i THOUGHT i had all the materials I needed.
QUITE wrong.
After searching forever to find a receipe sem honey, brown sugar or corn starch (all normal things an american household would have, btw) Andre found a brazilian receipe for cookies. mistake number one.
As we made these "cookies" we were like, this is WAY to dry. So we added milk.
now gallery, please think what is cookies + milk?
cake.
sooo basically after almost burning down Andre's apartment trying to figure out how to work a gas oven, we ended up with these (delicious mind you) but cake cookies.
after we had to finally give up and battle my evil grandmother, cooking the cookies in my apartment.
hahaha
next task- make southern style biscuits! :)
