So this recipe must be good. Because it survived the absence of a sort of crucial ingredient. Who puts brown sugar in cookies anyways? Apparently, I don't. When the cookies weren't really browning the way cookies usually do, I looked over my ingredient list, and sure enough, I had forgotten the brown sugar. You can't blame me. I mean, it was hidden at the top of the second column...apart from granulated sugar.
When these little miracles came out of the oven, I had to try one. To make sure I hadn't completely wasted a solid amount of baking ingredients. After the third cookie (they were little, okay?), I realized they couldn't be half bad. I mean, I kept eating more as if that would help me determine if they were good or not. But I couldn't be sure until Zack came home and tried one. Sure enough, he thought they were great!
If these were good without brown sugar, I can't wait to make them with it. These drop cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. Does it get better than that?
I never thought I would enjoy cooking. I could barely boil water. However, when you graduate from college and can't get a job because the state you moved to requires you to take an exam that isn't being offered for a few months, you have time to learn how to boil water. You may even find time to teach yourself some other things...or watch loads of the Food Network and learn how. As Julia Child said, "...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing." So here's to doing.
