CCC Monday: Dorie Greenspan's Chocolate Chip Cookies




 Happy Monday!

Today is going to be a little different. One, there is no recipe to share. Two, it's my Little Guy's 1st Birthday so I am totally distracted by this huge event.

I actually considered not posting CCC Monday today but I would hate to disappoint you.

So, I decided to share my notes on the recipe. I will revisit it again and then share it. In the meantime, if you would like to prove me wrong make it anyways, here is the link to it.

My notes:

1. It has been so humid here, in Kansas, that I have been having problems with my baking endevours.
2. The cookies came not even close to what they were supposed to look like and taste like.
3. They were so cakey, that not even sea salt sprinkled on top could save them.... :(
4. I blame it all on the humidity.... 

And this is what Momma does, when the Little Guy is napping.
Instead of laundry, of course. :)




I will be back tomorrow with a delicious recipe. This week, by the way, is going to be HUGE!!

Stay tuned. :)


xoxo,

  8. You know I'm not a scratch cookie baker... so I don't even know how the weather makes it hard to bake. How can you get anything done with that little angel sleeping so sweetly. I would want to watch him all day. :) Wishing him a Happy Birthday!! ~ Ramona
