Week Five (February 7th)

I know, I know, once again I was a little late in posting, yada yada... However, this is the first official post of my blog that I'll be posting less than a week after I make my dessert! *clap clap clap*. Anywho... On with ze show!

This week's recipe: Best One Bowl Chocolate Chunk Cookies

... AKA Jill O Connor's take on chocolate chip cookies.



They turned out pretty darn tasty. If you're looking for an easy recipe in the book, hands down this will be the winner (indeed, just as the name has it, it only uses "one bowl"); however, if you're looking for that unique, "wow factor" SCMG dessert... This is probably one of the last. Most might think it a little annoying that the author chose to put such a cliche recipe in her book, but frankly... I kind of think EVERY good dessert book needs that classic cookie, that little piece of baked goodness that anyone, anywhere, anytime will be drawn to.... Y/N?

Then again, maybe it's the fact that I still deem O Connor as one of the great baking goddesses after those brownies that makes my opinion a teensy bit biased.

ANYWAYS. The recipe did have it's own little twists to it: the pecans were toasted (actually, this was my first time having a cookie with pecans... I recommend it), the measures for the dough drops were a 1/4 CUP measuring tin (I have never seen such big mounds of cookie dough look so lovely).



Overall, it was good... Just not anything different.

On a note not related to baking.... I JUST FOUND OUT I WAS GOING TO JAPAN! (yay!) I'm really excited =0)
And another note... I got my license! :D :D :D :D So, if you're on the road, don't worry, I'm not too bad of a driver.... Unless you're a pedestrian. Then you should be a little afraid.
