Denver residents are the biggest snow storm of the season. As for me personally, any day that is snowing becomes a storm day seeing as I truly miss the sunny California weather.
There are many classmates that are capitalizing on the snow and hitting the slopes. As for me, I'll take this as an occassion for warm hot chocolate (or coffee?), a fleece blanket and some in-between baking.
Earlier this week, I made ready made cookies from a Hershey's package. Didn't really care for them, but they were a hit amongst some of my classmates during our Instructional Methods class presentations.
So today, I tried to venture into baking from scratch... After making it, I realized why I do like the costco cookie dough readymade packs. I didn't have any butter so I had to make do with what ingredients I did have. So thank goodness for google and searching "No butter chocolate chip cookies"
Here are the links to the recipes I used:
1) No Butter Recipe
2) Robbi's M&M Cookies Recipe
Honestly, here's why I still love ready make dough.. 1) The first chocolate chip recipe was so gooey, that I feel like I lost 10% of it transferring it from the mixer to the baking sheet on my hands and spoons. I'm not sure if using the gluten free flour had anything to do with this??
2) The second M& M cookie recipe was more liquidy. I substituted apple sauce for shortening and still continued to use gluten free flour. It was so liquidy to the point that I changed my mind to make cupcakes, but realized I was out of PAM non-stick cooking spray too. HA! End result: Let's dry making a M&M cookie bread.
I'll update later with pictures.
Until next time, stay warm everyone!
