Brownies & Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yesterday I made brownies - one pan for my family and one for my classmates. Today I made chocolate chip cookies. I've just been really into it. In America, I almost never bake things. I don't know where this urge to bake is coming from. Anyway brownies are an American thing. Ludovica had never seen/heard of brownies before. Also, they got a little burnt because she wouldn't let me take them out of the oven when they were finished. They looked unfinished to her, because in Italy desserts/sweets are typically hard like biscuits. They don't eat a lot of chewy/fluffy stuff. I don't know how else to describe brownies. Ludovica compared them to gum. She only ate the outside pieces that were slightly burnt. Culture differences.

brownies vs. homework
brownies won of course

Ludovica wanted to add powdered sugar
Almost all Italian desserts have powdered sugar on them 

the transfer of the brownie from the pan to the plate did not go well

gorgeous

TODAY I made chocolate chip cookies. I really don't know what's gotten into me. It's strange.

fun fact: the power went out while I was making these

Ok that's all for now. The cookies are currently baking. We'll see how they turn out. In the words of Ludovica: this is why American people are fat. Love y'all. Ciao.
