It’s ironic because they say baking is harder than cooking, yet I always have more motivation to bake brownies and cookies than I do to make myself a delicious dinner. Things I cook just never come out as good as if someone else (or a restaurant) makes it. Anyway, I tried to make cookies the other night, after a few glasses of wine. I’ve made chocolate chip cookies before, I mean who hasn’t, so I skimmed the recipe and thought “yeah I’ve got this” and combined everything in a bowl and then realized something was horribly wrong. I forgot to combine the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients separately, I just combined everything together all at once. I tried to salvage it, but the cookies came out more like flat caramelized crunchy sheets with melty chocolate in them. Finally I just sat down with the bowl of remaining batter and ate that straight up. That’s when I realized I should have just done that to begin with, I mean the batter is the best part. Stay tuned to see if I get salmonella!
