Chocolate Chip Cookies
About this Cook
Well... I'm in high school right now and I have an absolute passion for cooking/baking that my family half likes/ half hates. My mom's a celiac, allergic to wheat, so I get a lot of rare experience in gluten free cooking. I'm really in to ethnic cooking and frontier cooking with a lot of experimenting.
My favorite things to cook
Um... I like soups if I'm in a hurry and pasta and gourmet if I have the time. I like to bake a lot too, scones and muffins- breakfasty stuff, is my favourite.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Well, we have an awesome choc. chip cookie recipe(who doesn't?). Every Christmas morning we have super easy and fun to make cream cheese muffin puffs that are divine! We love them. Mom usually makes pecan pie on Thanksgiving and a family favorite is her Chicken Casserole.
My cooking triumphs
Making my sister's wedding cake- a castle of french cream puffs called Croquembouche. Quite tricky to assemble!
My cooking tragedies
Not going there- too many.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies
With a name like, "Big, Soft..." I expected these to be just that- soft, cake-like cookies. So, I was rather disappointed when they were flat and chewy. Next time I may add a smidge more flour or a bit less fat. They did, however, taste good, so 4 stars.

No Bake Cookies V
I've tried several different No-Bake recipes over the years and this one is perfection! The cookies set up, but retain their fudginess, they hold together, but are melt-in-your-mouth, and they are splendidly easy to make, but taste like they should have been complicated. Superb!

Anzac Biscuits I
These bisuits were very good and my sister-in-law from NZ said they were quite authentic. I was worried they would fall apart because they looked awfully crumbly, so I added a few extra tablespoons of butter and a T of oil. I cooked for 12 minutes like previously suggested and they were pefect! Crisp, golden brown and yummy.
