I baked for the school inset day at the start of January and although not much of my baking was eaten, at least it gave me an excuse to practise. I did a banana cake and tried some rum and raisin muffins for the first time.
Tonight we had a bit of spare time and I wasn't cooking dinner as we had had a late lunch, so I decided to bake and try some cookies. The first google hit was this Martha Stewart recipe so I started it. I almost gave up before starting when it mentioned 'electric whisk'. I carried on quite halfheartedly, especially when it said 'light and airy' or when I added the baking soda to the butter mix rather than the flour! But would you believe it, when the 9 minute timer went, they were brown on the edges and soft in the middle. And the early indications are that they are rather soft, chewy and tasty! Woop woop!
