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;

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.
