So the calamity of cookies continues. So a few days before dad's surgery I made another double batch of these delicious cookies. But I was in a hurry and tired so mistakes were make, big mistakes. I used white sugar instead of brown sugar. I didn't want to toss out all that butter and sugar so I continued on with the recipe (after a few choice words).
So I baked the cookies and although they weren't what I was expecting (they were fluffy and cakey) but they were still yummy and I hate to toss out ingredients. So I packed off a few to Courtney from Misadventures in Cooking and the rest were divided between work, friends and the overnight bag for the hospital. Check out Courtney's post about me here!
I am dedicating this post to the rocking Courtney from Misadventures in Cooking. She shares her cooking and baking triumphs and tribulations on her blog. I need to share my cooking calamities more since they are not so few and far between lately. My family has certainly had our share of tribulations this week. My dad's surgery on Thursday was crazy, after an hour in surgery he had some blood pressure issues and they stopped surgery. He is fine and feeling good at home. The surgery is rescheduled for the end of May.
So I am so glad to be home. Moving sucks but I love my new place but with everything that has happened in the last 2 weeks, I haven't finished painting or hanging pictures. But it looks great and Sookie and I are feeling very at home. But the last few weeks have been a crazy mixed up calamity of events, starting with these cookies.
These cookies were the first thing baked in my new apartment and oven. They turned out delicious and super awesome despite the fact that I bought the wrong kind of chocolate chips, I got bittersweet 60% dark chocolate baking chips. But after my momentary freak out (it was 11 pm, no way was I running to the store) I decided to change up the recipe. Instead of 1 1/2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips I added 1 cup of white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of the bittersweet chocolate chips. They turned out super yummy and the cookies didn't last 3 hours at work. LOL that is why I have no pictures of these freaking delicious cookies, so I used this picture from Martha Stewart. This was the first batch of cookies. Check out part #2 on Thursday. Enjoy!
