I baked cookies! There was one minor accident in which I burnt my hand in the oven- but since I did not burn the cookies, I consider the baking a huge success. The embarrassing part here is that I burnt my finger with the steam/heat of the oven, not the hot pan...
Thanks to my amazing and talented friend, Maria of Shopgirl on the blogosphere, for answering all my baking questions.* You should really check out her blog- she's got some amazing recipes and cute/fun crafts!
The cookies were made from scratch- flour, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, brown sugar, butter, buttermilk and egg- then into the oven they went!

I was excited about making my own buttermilk- it's simple, too!
Just add 1 TBS of lime to 1 Cup of milk, and let it stand for 5 minutes until it has noticeably thickened.
Voila!

After I finished, I chopped some broccoli.

I'm not so sure, but it is rather fun.
Hope everyone's got plans for some Friday the 13th shenanigans ;)

* Like, "What's buttermilk?" and "Is pure baking soda for baking?"
Those whoopie pies look awesome!!! I really need to make some too sometime! Also, I've burned myself on just steam multiple times!!!! And thanks for the shout out! xx
ReplyDeleteYou really should- I'm sure yours will not only be more pleasing to the eye, but a lot tastier too :)
Deletethey look delicious! my friday the 13th was partly spent in a downpour at a festival :) hope you had a good one as well ! x
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteOh, a festival and rain- sounds like a lot of fun :)
They look very tasty, but it reminds me that I haven't baked cookies in a long time sheesh. Slightly burning your hand is still pretty unfortunate but if they cookies made it, that makes it worth it! I made a lemon tart recently and it came out awful haha...I might have preferred the burn x
ReplyDeleteThey turned out tasty too, which made it even more of a success. I like to bake, but 60% of the times it turns out to be a disaster... I guess I should give that, "Practice makes perfect" thing a go.
DeleteOh, a lemon tart! That sounds too difficult for me- but I'm sure your next go at it will be a success :)
Those cookies look amazing! I've been baking a lot too lately:) Freshly baked cookies, even the simple ones, are so much better than store-bought ones!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the white filling? Is that the buttermilk? I'd never heard of it either.
Haha, that was awesome! You are very good at lip-sync!

Yes! And they're a naturally tasty way to 'perfume' your house :)
DeleteThe white filling is just frosting (yup, LOTS of calories in these!). Buttermilk was used to make the dough.
And thanks so much!
Really? Never will I buy buttermilk again! Whenever I need it for a recipe, I never know what to use the remainder for.
ReplyDeleteRight? Yeah, I still ended up throwing some away- but very little and I didn't have to pay for it :P
DeleteThanks! (And thanks for stopping by) :)
