Today I Will Make...

I’m going to find some recipes. I’m going to attempt them. Pretty much something you’ll find anywhere, but this one is mine!

Chocolate chip cut out cookies!

I decided to develop a recipe for chocolate chip cut out cookies because I LOVE cookie cutters but I don’t enjoy sugar cookies. While I have a tried a true recipe for making enjoyable sugar cookies, I can only have one and I’m done. They’re just so sweet by nature, by recipe really. But I can eat twenty chocolate chip cookies without looking back (which is a problem if it’s own).

The best part of a chocolate chip cookie, in my opinion, is the molasses. In lieu of using brown sugar and granulated sugar, I usually just use granulated sugar and add as much molasses as I’d like.

I think another crucial detail about these cookies is you want to slightly under bake them. There is always carry over cooking when baking, and these cookies are no exception. Once the edges set and you see a nice golden brown, you need to remove them from the oven. Over baking leads to drier cookies.

Triple Chocolate Cake

I absolutely love chocolate cake! Baking it, eating it, SEEING it. I have such a hard time with frosting though! I’ve tried Swiss merengue, Italian merengue, American buttercream, whipped cream and I just fall flat. I really want an imitation of H-E-B’s whipped icing, but I’m without for now. This whipped ganache worked out pretty good until I can find a decent recipe.

Apple Pie

I made some delicious apple pie! But I actually don’t like apple pie, so I just took my girlfriends word on it. I thought this would be a good first post considering it’s aesthetic appeal. Flaky crust, woven top, bubbly, hot, and fresh out of the oven.

I’m obsessed with Bon Appetite so I used their recipe, obviously. But I used yellow and green apples, and regular vinegar because I didn’t have apple cider. Still turned out pretty great 🤷🏻‍♀️
