cookies bicolor

January was quite productive ... especially seeing that reach 10 posts! A record for the second year.

Despite the heat, a couple of times I turned on the oven, and many other posts were about things related to the kitchen area (I know! Is the name of a blog !)... except Nemo, But That's Life!
also took advantage of two recipes of challenges: the cake that I served as a birthday cake and the recipe for the cookie carnival , which looked spectacular, and I do not disappoint: a simple, yet captive cookies.

Additionally, you can do several ways, including alfajorcitos. In this case I opted for the window-filled, inspired by so many good pictures of different blogs.
The recipe is similar to butter cookies to decorate I usually do, but there is a difference in the amount of flour, I think that is what makes them much softer and adults, in addition to filling. This difference of flour also makes a little more complicated to work, because the dough is very tender, but cold and well floured surface worth a try!

Besides combining colors are so beautiful ... almost a game of checkers with vintage doily made of board. I can not say how old the tablecloth, but I know that in the early 80's and was old, and I was not going to any school picnic without him and my green apple juice Cipolletti in metal containers ... an antique, especially considering that no longer exists.

Leaving aside the nostalgia, here's the recipe for some cookies that are worth scheduling.
