A Cookie?

I honestly didn't even know what I was making was a cookie until right before I put them in the oven.....the literal name of the recipe is called "New York Cheesecake Cookies". I just saw the cheesecake part and was sold.

Whatever.

I made some dang cookies.

I always feel like i'm setting myself up for success. I think in my head Yes, i'm going to nail this recipe and it won't be tragic and look like a child made it. Nope. Something seems to go wrong.

Whelp. Here it is:

So, here are my ingredients.

Did you know that you can buy graham crackers already in crumb form? And they smell amazing! Heart eyes all around.

So, for some reason this recipe kept telling me to get bowls. Like, why?  It wanted me to get out 3 bowls...for 12 cookies...come on...

Here you'll see my graham cracker crumbs mixed with my flour. Isn't it pretty?
Yes that is a burn on my hand from a previous cooking adventure featuring the oven...

On a positive note...I GOT TO USE MY EGG SEPARATOR AGAIN! 
andddd I zested a lemon but that was hard to take a picture of...

Did some mixing. The instructions said to mix until just combined. What the heck is that supposed to mean? It was just combined like right after I started. 





Use an ice cream scoop they said...indent the middle of the "cookie" with your thumb they said...

UGGGHH

 The dang things kept falling apart. I'm thinking its because I accidentally melted the butter when it said not to....whoops....I tried adding more butter and they still kept falling apart! 

So this is my attempt...a few where the bowl shape I was supposed to do, the rest I gave up on and made them whatever shape I could to keep them together!



Before, during, and after. They look the same to me



Pretty tasty. They don't look anything like the original picture AT ALL but they did taste pretty good. 




Thanks for reading!!!

Whipping the Whipping Cream

For my first recipe review I wanted to keep it simple and easy.  As it turns out, nothing is ever easy for me. haha. The recipe I decided to use is called:  Quick and Easy Nutella Mousse  The mousse was not quick and easy! It literally took me 3 days to make it. I decided on Friday night I was going to make it and have it as a weekend treat, boy was I wrong. haha I followed the recipe and I got to the first step, which was to pour the heavy cream into a bowl.  I poured the cream into the bowl and then bumped it and the cream spilt everywhere so I gave up and went to bed. Today I decided to try again. The instructions said that the prep time would only take 5 minutes. My prep time was soooo long! I felt like it took forever to whip the cream. It shouldn't have taken as long as it did. Five million years later I finally felt it was good enough to be considered "stiff to a peak". My favorite part of the instructions was the " use a pipi...

This is my last post for my class! I can't believe I did it! I'm not sure if I will continue to blog about my Pinterest attempts. TBD For my last recipe I decided to do something I've been wanting to do since watching Britain's Next Great Baker on Netflix. They are always talking about puff pastry. Puff pastry is the name of the game for this recipe and it was actually pretty fun. There is a lot of rolling and folding and it's rather soothing. After starting this recipe I noticed that the recipe only tells you how to make the puff pastry, it didn't tell me what to do with it after I had made it, so I had to find another recipe to finish them out. The first thing the recipe said was to mix flour and salt. Done. Next, cut up some cold butter into cubes. (The funny thing is, it specifically said high-quality butter. haha aint nobody got time for that) Add to flour and mix. It said to use some sort of pastry device, which I obviously don't hav...
