a note on chocolate chip cookies.

in this post, i said i wanted to try the chocolate chip cookie recipe.

well, i did. during my week from hell two weeks ago, i prepared the dough and refrigerated it for 36 hours (longer than it said to but i couldnt make them until then) and they turned out, well, awful.


i was to say the least, very disappointed. the post i found the recipe at (link above) said how amazing these cookies were and blah blah on and on. i must have screwed something up along the way but mine, baked on a pizza brick/baking stone for several minutes longer than called for still turned out gooey--and not in a good way. so gooey that after sitting out of the oven for a few minutes, they drooped pathetically into piles of goosh off the end of my spatula before i could even attempt to place them on a cooling rack. i tried 2 different times to bake these, both times with utter failure.

this has never happened to me before. i don't know what happened but all i can say is i felt jipped and i'll never get that flour back. and now all i want to do is make my normal cookie recipe, which as it happens is delicious and always comes out perfect.

i'm going to need to do a lot more of that exercise junk if i'm going to be eating decadent baked spaghetti and cookies...
