I have three different variations
of cookies I have mastered:
1.
Thin as paper and hard as a rock
– You know what I am talking about right? The cookies that begin as separate entities
but converge into one crunchy mass while baking.
2.
"Normal" but under cooked –
Luckily these cookies remain separate, individual cookies, but they start as
dough and end as dough with an impenetrable shell.
3.
Kindling- This category
includes anything from ashes and coal to slightly burnt cookies.
You
may notice that I am lacking the “fluffy, delicious and perfect” category or the “this is the taste of heaven” category.
Yeah. I know.
Well,
I decided yesterday to buy pre-made sugar cookie dough. Maybe the dough was my problem
after all? I simply had to cut the
dough into 1/4” slices. Put the slices
on a baking sheet 2” from each other, and put it in the oven at 350°F. Then 11 minutes later, pull them back out and
BAM!
Cookies. Soooooo easy, right?
WRONG! I still managed to burn them to a crisp. Still! So, I decided, as of
yesterday, that if I ever, EVER want cookies again, I
will buy them already baked.
P.S. I was too ashamed to take pictures yesterday, and now my phone is dead and the camera is missing. So just imagine. It is better that way.
