7. externship update: the cookie battle.

i've been at battle with cookies for the last 6 weeks.  & the cookies are winning.  by a lot.

i can give you all of my excuses, if you'd like: the convection oven's wind is too much... our new silpats are succeeding at their job more than necessary... different shelves of the oven get significantly different amounts of heat...

but finally, i've won!  i've defeated the cookies.  & they are delicious!  & soft inside with a slightly crisp outside. & pretty too.  



{a new customer favorite.
thank you, miss helen, for the suggestion!}

by the way, the solution: bake at 25 degrees lower, rotate the pans half way through baking, & use dough only at room temp.  

who knew cookies could be so complicated?

oh, i also made some great coffee cake cupcakes with a streusel topping & milky drizzle.  yummm.


happy friday!  bake some cookies this weekend & let me know your favorite flavors.

love love,
kjp.
