So, I am in no way a baker, but I do enjoy it once in a while.
Today for example, I had exams at school,so I got home at 12:20. I was in the mood for some chocloate chip cookies, so I made some. There were directions on how to make them on the back of a Hershey's bag of chocolate chips. I made two batch. One batch had wal-nuts in it, and the other was nut free. I am not a fan of nuts, and my father is, so and I decided to make him some too.
Well... so, I but my iPod in the dock, turned it up real high, and mixed all the ingirdients together. (the fun part)
Well, then comes the part where I am really bad at. The cooking of the cookies. Countless times I have had to toss a whole batch of cookies away because I screwed something up while baking. Like the last time I made cookies, all of the stuck to the cookie sheets, and they were not coming off in one piece. They tasted okay, but they were in a bunch of little pieces.
Well today, I put my cookies in (I did the ones with the wal-nuts first) oven, and the very first sheet was a little under cooked. The second ones were better, but still a little under cooked. The third sheet was probably the best. The fourth sheet turned out okay. The nut free cookies all turned out okay, except for the last sheet, which I frgot about, but you can blame it on Lugh, because I was talking to him at the time. ( Lugh) Now, for all of the cookies it was hard to get them off of the sheets. Not like last time, but it was still hard. I had to take a pie spatual, which kinda had a serrated edge, and like saw at the bottoms to get them off. Most of them came off okay.
I did not burn myself at all, which is very uncommon when I bake.
Here are my cookies:
Well, I guess I just wanted to post this to maybe start a good disscusion, wheather is be tips for others, stories, or whatever really... Care to share?
