Hello again,
I haven't had much progress with the dress but I've had a lovely day baking cookies.I'm sure that counts as creativity!
I made two different types. Thumbprint cookies and Peanut Butter Cookies. Both turned out to be big successes, Alhamdulillah. Even the picky eaters couldn't resist seconds(and thirds)!
I got the recipe for the Thumbprint cookies from another blog. I used Blackcurrant jam for the centre and that proved to be a good choice. The end result was very similar to the cookie in the picture minus the nuts.
The second recipe was from a website too. (Ah, the marvels of the internet) We were kind of short on peanut butter so I ended up using 1/4 cup of peanut butter rather than 1/2 cups, like it says in the recipe. That didn't affect the consistency at all, thank goodness! We didn't even refrigerate the dough. He he.
The cookies turned out to be moist and chewy, just the way I like it. Although, I wasn't very happy with the way they looked. Hopefully, I'll fix that next time. Oh, and the cookies swell a LOT when they're in the oven so make sure you put enough space between them. The recipe says 3 inches.
Today turned out to be a very productive day, Alhamdulillah. I'm sure I've improved my cooking skills a bit. Now I also know where my mom keeps most of her ingredients. Doubtless, I will be using this information to fulfill my own nefarious objectives. Muahahahaha. *coughs and regains composure*
That's it for now. I'll be back again with some thing soon, InshAllah.
