So a friend of mine challenged me to bake cookies… and so I did. Whoa, Minh baking cookies? Can you even imagine? I am the most culinary inexperienced person I know. Ah well, I needed some time to relax from my stress lately, so I took an entire evening off yesterday to do this. I went to Border’s, researched on cookies and bought a cookie-book home, went to the store to buy all the utensils and ingredients, locked up the cats into the bed room and started my first-ever cookie baking adventure.
Boy, that was just tooooo funny yesterday. I cannot believe how much sugar and butter goes into cookies. When I mixed the ingredients together, I thought to myself “wait, this can’t be right, that’s sooo much sugar and butter, people surely must die from eating this”. When mixing the ingredients by hand, the margarine didn’t resolve and I just got so tired and just suspended everything to go back to the store to buy a mixer (haha, this shows how lazy I am). From the several sets of cookies that I baked, one set got burned, because I forgot about them (I am sure every first-time baker has to go through this experience).
Ah well, after some 2 hours of research and 4 hours of shopping, preparing, refrigerating, baking and cleaning, I am proud to have baked my first sets of cookies. Let’s look at some pictures, shall we? Tadaaaaaa:
Can’t wait to see my friend’s and my parents’ reaction to this. Of course, I think the cookies suck, they are way too sweet and a bit dry, but ah well. That was a fun experience.
PS for cat-lovers: don't mix up the Arm and Hammer baking powder with the ones you guys use for the cat litter box. I was pretty confused as well. :)
