Cookie Adventures!

I would say that this morning was very productive.  I wrapped some presents, wrote out some Christmas cards, posted to the blog (yay), and baked some delightful and tasty cookies (basic chocolate chip, a classic).  Here are the results of said baking excursion:

So much cookie goodness, it couldn't all fit in one tin.

Yummy-looking, no?  Anyway, this post really isn't going to be that long.  Mostly I wanted to brag about my delicious cookies, but I figured I should also put something else in here.  

So here is some advice for those looking to embark on their own baking adventures in the near future.  

First, go watch My Drunk Kitchen on YouTube.  And basically don’t do anything she does (love you, Hannah!).  But seriously, those videos are hilarious.  Go check them out.

Second, always time your cookies or whatever else you’re baking.  And even if you have set a timer, check on your cookies before the timer goes off.  Your cookies will bake much faster after the initial batch.

Third, always remember to wear an oven mitt.  This is crucial.  My pinky finger is not happy with me.

Finally, have fun!  And always remember: don’t be discouraged if something goes wrong or if you burn something.  You can always start again.  Or just eat the cookie dough.

Happy baking adventures and whatnot,

Shannon
