I LOVE to bake: and I especially love to bake deserts. I'll spend an entire afternoon just making cookies. I like to try new recipes, too. But sadly, my budget is limited so I often don't stray from the simple "chocolate-chip cookie" recipe. I also recently aquired a ice cream maker, so I'm trying out many, many new recipes on my family! I was so happy when I finally made that perfect batch of light, fluffy, M&M cookies. Sadly, I haven't figured out how I did that and have been experimenting ever since. I also created a couple simple ice cream recipes that turned out pretty good! (In my opinion) Half a year ago, I had never made a simple cookie. Besides wandering in to snitch some dough, only to be shooed away by my Oh-So-Loving older sister, I barely even went into the kitchen. So it took me a while to get the hang of it: the hard way. I can't tell you how many cookies I've burnt and recipes I've screwed up!
