Chocolate chip cookies

Over the past 2 weeks, my classmates have been asking for cookies. I decided to take that request as a chance to practice. I decided to make chocolate chip cookies which is a cookie that everyone would enjoy. They turned out deliciously. They were perfectly golden and sweet. I made about 2 dozen and they were gone within seconds of opening the container. Now I know to make no less than 50 cookies.

Recipe Tip: I used imported Irish cream butter (sold at Trader Joes), extra chocolate chips(preferrably Nestle brand), and a tad extra sugar in the dough making them extra good.

More cookies coming soon! 

Winter Baking

Today,
I am bringing gluten free chocolate cake to school for my what San Diego Eats exhibition in environmental science. The project was to show the differences in what families eat. For my family, I wanted to emphasize our most significant difference-- gluten free foods, so I made this gluten free dessert. Baking seemed so much easier than it usually is. My baking skills seem to be improving, as proven by my cakes. It turned moist and fluffy. Unfortunately, the homemade frosting (which is usually a snap to make,) didn't turn out, so I used store-bought frosting.

I also made Snickerdoodles for the first time to celebrate Christmas with friends before winter break. I forgot to dip the dough in cinnamon and sugar the first time and they were overbaked. But the second batch turned out perfect.

Here are the recipes used:
