Life has horridly gotten in between myself and the kitchen, but I saw this today and had to pass it on.
Ward Street Bistro presents Press In The Pan Pie Crust. Complete with pictures and doesn’t look like it could be simpler.
Also, no sooner did I upgrade WP, a day later they released another upgrade. Also trying to get a plugin for subscribing to comments.
Cause Toll House Cookies are still wonderful. Yes, I am a touch behind on my holiday baking – these are for my buds at the pub who keep me in Guinness. My only variation is that I substituted 1/2 of the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips.
Now, I am by no means a master baker, but here are a few little things I’ve learned over the years while making these.
– If they come out a little overdone on the bottom and not quite as done on the top – what you think is the center rack probably isn’t the center rack on your oven.
– Make sure the cookie sheets have returned to room temp before putting the next batch on them.
– If you splash some vanilla extract on your finger while getting things together, ignore any instinct to lick it off. You will smell and taste nothing else besides vanilla extract for the next 2 hours.
– When you ask your brother to test said cookies and he gets a funny look on his face and says, “These are terrible, you cannot give these to our friends” and then attempts to take 3 dozen of the cookies to his room to “protect the public,” this is actually a good sign. :)
– I do not think it is possible to get through a baking session without burning yourself somewhere.
