Today's recipe, thankfully, was pretty much failproof. After another bad Martha experience on Monday with the Perfect Beans (which were pretty far from perfect), I needed a boost in my confidence in following Martha's recipes. (The strange thing is, I rarely have bad recipes. For some reason I just don't do well with Martha.) But cookies are something I have made many times. The recipe was basic and turned out delicious. For my add-ins I used 1 cup of white chocolate chips and one cup of semisweet. It was also my first time using my new silicone baking mat (a wannabe Silpat) and I LOVED it. The cookies baked perfectly and evenly - probably my most perfectly baked cookies ever. I attribute that entirely to the baking mat, which cost $10 at Fred Meyer. Great investment.
Leighton loved the cookies too. This is him nodding when I asked him if it was a good cookie.
As I'm limiting my calories this week and the next few until my husband comes home, I froze a bunch in little baggies to pull out when I'm in desperate need of a treat. Of course, I saved a dozen for the kids to enjoy
this week. And they were so good, I might sneak one in myself. After all, what's a diet if you can't cheat once in a while?
