I have been baking lately and between the bread and carrot cake and banana bread, I've gotten quite a few compliments. What can I say, I follow a recipe well- and know when to stray from it just a bit, to make food even better! :)
Tonight we have the second meeting of the "book club", which meant an opportunity to cook or bake again. I decided to bake cookies. I asked AW for a good quick recipe (because I made the cookies today after school). She recommended the Snickerdoodles recipe she makes every year for the holidays.
Well, I got as far as the dough, and was hooked. I am not so pleased to say that I ate enough dough to cut down on the number of cookies made considerably. But, the crack thing? This dough is like crack. You just need more, and more, and more. And then you need to drink a biiiiiiig glass of water, and then you need more, and more, and more.
Anyway, they taste pretty good baked as well. :) I always bake way too late in the day to get good light (and we have totally crap lighting in the house)- but I wanted to try to play around with a bit of totally, totally amateur food styling. So, enjoy my pics. :)
Yum!

You either made perfect balls or you have a great cookie sheet for them to all be the same size and thickness! Well done Betty Crocker!
Must have been the cookie sheet... my balls were not perfect at all. Everyone at book club commented on how perfect they were as well- I told them it just happened! But then the 3-year-old teacher said it was because I spend so much of my day playing with play-dough that my balls were probably more perfect than I thought. But I actually did not roll these balls, I just used my finger tips to shape them. So, who knows... must be the cookie sheet. :)
Well dearie, with a post like that you've simply got to share the recipe!!!! Because they haven't got "snickerdoodles" in Australia (can I say the name is a tad hilarious), I am intrigued as to what makes them so good...
Mook, you've got mail. :)
Yeah, the cookies look great. So great that it looks like you got them from a really nice bakery (I know you made them). And I could sit and eat pretty much any flavor of cookie dough.
