How to prepare the NY cookies:

In a large bowl, mix the butter with the two types of sugar until smooth.

Add vanilla sugar and egg and mix.

Sift the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, baking soda and salt and stir it into the dough until you get a solid mass.

Add the three types of chopped chocolate and mix them into the batter.

Form about eight equal-sized dough balls from the dough by hand and then place them in the refrigerator for about an hour.

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to around 200° C (180° C fan oven).

Bake four NY cookies at a time. The dough will spread as it bakes. This way you avoid them sticking together. Bake them for about 14 minutes. The chocolate should still be liquid. Then they taste best.

Let the NY Cookies cool for about ten minutes and then enjoy. They are definitely best when they are still warm.

She was constantly expanding her travel regions, but curiosity still gnawed at her: "What's beyond the horizon? What else is there to discover in this city? Which people are interesting here? What do they eat in this region?" As a freelance travel journalist (her articles have appeared in DIE ZEIT, 360° Canada, 360° USA, etc.), she is now looking for answers to these questions as a travel writer and travel blogger in many countries around the world.
