Just had to explain to a youtube commenter how language evolves and adapts over time, which is why slang and semantics exist, and how one word can have multiple meanings. Hilariously, and also very predictably, he didn’t get it. Sorry, Ballsdropper-bunchanumbers, for destroying the purity of the word “asexual” that I’m sure is in your everyday vocabulary. But ONLY in the biology sense. The LGBT community (sorry, “you people” in your words) sure “hijacked” THAT one away from you. Back in 1972, I might add.

Now this guy is trying to claim he's gay himself but I think the pfp of a Mountain Dew bottle that says "Hitler did nothing wrong" on it in place of the logo says otherwise.

A few years ago, when I was living in the housing co-op and looking for a quick cookie recipe, I came across a blog post for something called “Norwegian Christmas butter squares.” I’d never found anything like it before: it created rich, buttery and chewy cookies, like a vastly superior version of the holiday sugar cookies I’d eaten growing up. About a year ago I went looking for the recipe again, and failed to find it. The blog had been taken down, and it sent me into momentary panic. 
Luckily, I remembered enough to find it on the Wayback Machine, and quickly copied it into a file that I’ve saved ever since. I probably make these cookies about once a month, and they last about five days around my voracious husband - they’re fantastic with a cup of bitter coffee or tea. I’m skeptical that there is something distinctively Norwegian about these cookies, but they do seem like the perfect thing to eat on a cold day. 
Norwegian Christmas Butter Squares
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 egg 1 cup sugar 2 cups flour 1 tsp vanilla ½ tsp salt Turbinado/ Raw Sugar for dusting
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Chill a 9x13″ baking pan in the freezer. Do not grease the pan.
Using a mixer, blend the butter, egg, sugar, and salt together until it is creamy.  Add the flour and vanilla and mix using your hands until the mixture holds together in large clumps. If it seems overly soft, add a little extra flour. 
Using your hands, press the dough out onto the chilled and ungreased baking sheet until it is even and ¼ inch thick.  Dust the top of the cookies evenly with raw sugar.
Bake at 400 degrees until the edges turn a golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let cool for about five minutes before cutting the cooked dough into squares. Remove the squares from the warm pan using a spatula.

So I tried this recipe.

And it is GREAT.

It basically makes the platonic ideal of commercial sugar cookies, only in bar form. When I give them to people (which I do a lot, because this is one of those simple recipes where the results seem very impressive), I just tell them they’re sugar cookie bars.

Life hack: add white chocolate chips and sea salt

I made these today for the equinox with sea salt caramel chips and they are simply amazing. Let’s see how long they last with six people in the house!

Noting for later (as we need more butter for this, and probably won’t do a grocery shopping till the weekend).

The OP version of this has become my go-to cookie for basically all things and I have a whole cohort of friends and colleagues who would murder each other to get them. Haven’t tried any add ons yet, since the base recipe is SO GOOD.

I’ve reblogged this before and I’m reblogging it again because I’m about to make it again tomorrow and I wanted to add my own tale of just how amazingly delicious it. it was SO incredibly simple to bake and with an extra dusting of brown sugar on top and served warm and soft they gift you with the taste of the nectar of the gods when paired with a small glass of milk. this image is from when I first made them a couple years ago:

GO. MAKE THESE !!!!

I make these every Christmas.  One year they didn’t work out and I went to family Christmas without them and three people nearly cried.

AntiAverage: Yeah we all want Anti to be cool and sexy and all that but consider the man has no fucking idea how to flirt and Chase is the only one to really make any moves and its not because Anti doesn’t want to he is just literally incapable of doing it and doing it in a way that Chase (or anyone really) can tell is flirting

Anti takes notice of IRIS giving Chase a single tennis ball.

After taking Chase away from the building, Anti just gives him like ten cannisters of tennis balls with his meals and Chase just has to accept that tennis balls are his life now.
