A Long Overdue Beginning

Bienvenue! Welcome to my blog. My goal for this project is to, basically, learn to bake. While I love to cook, baking is NOT on my list of favorite things. This is probably why I'm starting this project weeks after I should have. I've been dreading the undertaking of trying to bake from scratch. I equate baking to math and science. You have to measure, have to be exact, follow directions.... basically all things opposite of me. So maybe, just maybe, through my 40 hours of baking over the next month, I will be able to master the art of baking. Okay... perhaps master is too strong a word. I'll just try not to burn anything down. So let's start with what I know now as baking:







Bigger cookies? Yes, please!





And so, my store bought cookie dough went into the oven and out came some delicious, fresh from the factory, chocolate chips cookies. Are they better than from-scratch cookies? And is it worth the effort? I guess we'll find out in the weeks to come. Unfortunately, I was unable to get an after picture of these delectable little morsels. Unbeknownst to me, while cooling, my cookies were ravaged by a boyfriend.... a sister... and a sister's boyfriend... it happens...

Until my next baking adventure,

Laura Leigh
