Koekjes

A cookie is a baked or cooked snack or dessert that is typically small, flat and sweet. it usually contains flour, sugar, egg, and some type of oil, fat, or butter. it may include other ingredients such as raisins, oats, chocolate chips, nuts, etc. in most english-speaking countries except for the united states, crunchy cookies are called biscuits. many canadians also use this term. chewier biscuits are sometimes called cookies even in the united kingdom. some cookies may also be named by their shape, such as date squares or bars. biscuit or cookie variants include sandwich biscuits, such as custard creams, jammie dodgers, bourbons and oreos, with marshmallow or jam filling and sometimes dipped in chocolate or another sweet coating. cookies are often served with beverages such as milk, coffee or tea and sometimes "dunked", an approach which releases more flavour from confections by dissolving the sugars, while also softening their texture. factory-made cookies are sold in grocery stores, convenience stores and vending machines. fresh-baked cookies are sold at bakeries and coffeehouses, with the latter ranging from small business-sized establishments to multinational corporations such as starbucks.

Pannenkoeken

A pannenkoek (dutch pronunciation: [ˈpɑnəˌkuk] (listen); plural pannenkoeken (listen)) or dutch pancake is a style of pancake with origins in the netherlands. pannenkoeken are usually larger (up to a foot in diameter) and much thinner than their american or scotch pancake counterparts, but not as thin as crêpes. they may incorporate slices of bacon, apples, cheese, or raisins. plain ones are often eaten with treacle (syrup made of sugar beets), appelstroop (an unspiced dutch variety of apple butter) or (powdered) sugar and are sometimes rolled up to be eaten by hand or with cutlery. basic ingredients are flour (plain, self-rising or both), milk, salt, and eggs. the addition of buckwheat flour (up to 50 percent) is traditional, but much less common nowadays. milk can be replaced with soy milk without changing the end result. the ingredients are beaten into a batter of a fairly liquid consistency. a ladle of batter is then pan fried in butter or oil. once the top of the pannenkoek is dry and the edges start to brown, it can be flipped over. the first one is often less than perfect. at home a stack of pannenkoeken can be made in advance so everyone can eat at the same time, or people can take turns at the stove. pannenkoeken can be, and often are, eaten as a main course, served warm; in winter pannenkoeken are sometimes eaten after snert in a two course meal. pannenkoeken are a popular choice for a child's birthday meal in the netherlands and belgium. specialised pannenkoeken restaurants are common in the netherlands and belgium ("pannenkoekenhuizen" = pancake houses). they often offer a very wide range of toppings and ingredients, traditional and modern (e.g. cheese, oregano and salami on a pizza-pannenkoek). dutch and belgian supermarkets offer pre-cooked (microwavable) pannenkoeken as well as pre-made batter and dry flour mixes. the latter only needs added water.
