Chocolate Chip Cookies!

[potato_head]

Yaaay! Chocolate chip and butterscotch cookies!

I used this recipe, but substituted half a cup of butterscotch chips for the cup of chopped walnuts. They came out pretty tasty :D the butterscotch chips are a bit sweet for my taste, though. I think in the future I'll substitute chopped hazelnuts instead.

First two trays cooling:



Yes, there are cooling racks under there. I love parchment paper.




A cookie, shortly before nomming:



Shortly after beginning to nom:




I used the two-rack convection bake option on our new oven for these. I am LOVING the convection for my cookies. Now the only factor in uneven cooking is my inability to make cookies all the same size! Yay! :D

I might try using this same recipe, but with m&ms instead of chocolate chips. Tasty!

I really want an apron. Like one I can use at home while baking, my work one doesn't count, it smells like coffee >:c Aprons seem really simple to sew, so I think that might be my first foray into sewing clothing-type things...but I'll need some new fabrics for it. ;A;

You are SO adorable.

Also, I am really starting to hate our postal service. Still no cookies :-(

;A; IT IS JUST PHOTOS OF COOKIES, HOW AM I ADORABLE *FLAILS*

:C Awwww. Maybe the customs guys opened them up and ate them or something. Or maybe UK customs guys are more trustworthy than the US ones.

The obvious solution here is to make my next out-of-the-country trip to the UK, bake cookies there, and deliver them to you myself.

Mmm...cookies.

Aprons are easy. The key is to press your seams as you go: http://www.simplicity.com/t-sewing-techniques.aspx#tipspressing

Hmm...I've never used an iron in my life TBH. I can learn, of course, but my main issue right now is that I have no space to get a proper sewing setup going. I don't even have a sewing machine right now because I have no place to put it. When my mom irons right now, she does it on the kitchen counter D: I may just have to wait on sewing clothing until I have my own place.
