Or How I forgot my recipes and learned to love my mixer.
So I got some good advice yesterday. Sometimes I have a tendency to get a tad over excited and ambitious about things. Luckily I have someone that gives me a spoonful of that bittersweet medicine called reality every now and then when I need it.
As I explained how I was planning on baking banana fudge chocolate cookies and a killer mascarpone cream I was reminded of one very important fact:
I really don't know how to bake yet.
Ok so, I'm a little impatient. Pff I said, simple is easy I can do that no sweat. Maybe I'm like the Einstein of cooking? So I decided to master a simple, time honored recipe from the Joy of Cooking. I lowered myself to baking some chocolate chip drop cookies.
Piece of cake (or cookie, hehehe get it?), right?
Well my cookies turned out like this:
Epic cookie fail. Those aren't mine by the way but its pretty close to the real thing.
What would Swedish Chef Ramsey say about those cookies???
So I'm not a baking prodigy.
Fine.
I'll just try again, using a recipe stolen from my mom who in turn stole it from Martha Stewart.
Update you tomorrow.
Cheers,
M
