Baking=small disasters - Page 1

So, those who know me, know that I am not a baker….never claimed to be one, but once in a while I try….

This was my attempt to make chocolate chip cookies….originally there was 6 cookies per sheet…..i ended up with 2….

Apparently in baking “eyeballing” is frown upon….

they tasted good.....i was out of vanilla extract so i used Brandy, and orange zest.....

Oh, my! At least you didn't burn them! 

But, I am not a fan of those huge cookies sold in bakeries, either. Glad your family ate them. Your substitutions sounded interesting!

That sub does sound good.   I may have to try that.

bee...LOOOL...so true....

Thanks gals....orange with chocolate is a great combo...makes my favorite cookie...as long as i am not the one baking it..LOL.

lol

I use Pillsbury Chocolate Chip dough in the big tub from Sams...1` big teaspoon full on a cookie sheet  gives me about 10 cookies...350 for 11 minutes   or 12  ....cool and eat...like right now ...end of tub here....

I have some interesting recipes I can share with yall as soon as I make each one...Paula Deens new Fall magazine is scrumzious,,,MY OWN SPELLING>>>>first one  is "Apple Pear Butter PIE"

YR: I have two pear trees. The squirrels usually get the fruit before I ever do. Sounds like an interesting pie!

Here is my cooking disaster that just happened and now I think of it as a happy accident.

My eldest was having a last party bash for all his friends at our pool, since they are all going in different directions starting off to college. I picked most of what was left of my corn for them to eat. I figured I would melf butter and brush it on the ears to make things easy for the crowd. I got distracted when I suddenly noticed the butter had gone beyong melted, was boiling and getting dark I stopped it as fast as I could, and realized I had just browned my butter. I used it any way. Later I heard one person say, "This is the best corn, ever!"

Phew! LOL

I bet it was good!

LOL...i love "cooked" butter, i wait till it gets little foamy in my frying pan and than i dip things like biscuits, creeps, bread, corn, asparagus, pour it over rice...mmmm....i am hungry now....

P.S.

I found out what i did wrong with the cookies...I was cleaning my pantry and looked at the "flour" i was using...it was a waffle flour...bag looked identical to the regular flour, same section, but with one additional word...waffle...i looked at ingredients and there was all kinds of stuff....so...yeah...explains the mystery of my f-up.

Well , I did not burn the meringue tonight...here is my Quest for the week here in the Lake view place...
Waiting on it to kewl....
