Guayava Cuban Pastery (Pastel de Guayava)

We are located in Miami, which has the biggest Cuban community in all of the US. One of the best pastery that Cubans eat for breakfast, snack, lunch or desserts is the Guayava Pastery. they are sweet, buttery and crispy & thewy all in one. I love to get up every Saturday morning and go to the bakery to buy some.
One Morning I woke up and said to myself, you love to bake and make all the things you love to eat why not try to make the Pastellitos de Guayava. So, I got up and instead of running to the bakery, like always I ran to the supermarket. I bought all the ingredients to create this amazing pastery.

Homemade Chocolate Chipe Cookies

Hey everyone I want to share this video and recipe with all of you out there. The art of baking has been lost. When did everyone get so busy that no one can remember how to bake. In my opinion, openning a package and putting the dough in the oven is not baking. Do you really know whats in that cookie dough. Well when I'm baking I know everything that is in my dough, and now so do all of you.

Let bring back the art of baking!!!! I hope you all enjoy the video and this amazing recipe for my Chocolate Chip Cookies.
