We tried to bake.


Bean made Nigella Lawson's Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Muffins, and I attempted to use up some ingredients that I will otherwise never get rid of.

So! We embarked on a simultaneous baking adventure.














For mine, I used a sugar cookie recipe and added in some shit. The final recipe was as follows:

3/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp milk
1 tbsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1 package instant pistachio pudding mix
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 bar chopped white chocolate
1/2 cup dried cranberries


For chocolate, I used the rest of the bar Hannah had brought back as a souvenir from her trip to Israel.

First, cream butter and sugar, and then add in milk and vanilla until it's fluffy. Then blend in the beaten egg, and then the dry ingredients. Finally, stir in the cranberries and white chocolate.

Bake on greased sheet at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Bean's came out delicious, and he put mint-chocolate on the top of half of them for a nice flavor. But! Mine were flat and undercooked. I combined the first batch into a meal, and the second batch into one giant cookie, and even though at least half of it got eaten by various household members, it was still considered a failure (it is important to consider the fact that Jesse will eat anything).
