I had a sudden urge to bake, and could not find my vanilla extract but I did find my mint extract. I'm starting to wonder if I left my vanilla extract in my old apartment in Kingston, along with my baking soda.. I was intent on making chocolate chip cookies but was missing those two ingredients. I was not feeling adventurous enough to try substituting things, so instead I turned to Google and found this recipe from Land O Lakes!
I am not going to repost the recipe because I didn't make any changes.. but I did want to share it with you because it is a) easy, b) tasty and c) looks very pretty.
I love pretty much mint anything, so this recipe is a big success in my books. This is a keeper!
I skipped the drizzle part, and I'm sad that I did because I think it would make the cookies look that much fancier. But they are very cute as is.
Feast your eyes!
I didn't have my wire rack so I used chopsticks instead. Asian style cookie cooling!
I tried to style my photo a bit.. not sure if food photography is my cup of tea, but how's this?
Or is this one better?
Which of those shots looks better to you? I am going to try to present my photos better from now on, even if it means I have to wait to eat..!
CHOPSTICKS = a genius idea!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou have just solved all my baking dilemmas. i don't have a wire rack but i have SO MANY chopsticks!
Haha! Chopsticks are the answer to any problem!
Deletei think the first picture! maybe next time try to make it so the front stuff is in focus and the back is a little blurry? i think that looks good. i don't really know how to do that though, haha. macro setting maybe? or changing the f thingy, but i don't know which direction you're supposed to change it
ReplyDelete/useless
Haha! Nah, not useless. Definitely need other perspectives. I guess I should start using the DSLR and learning how to use it.. I mostly still use my point and shoot on digital macro and can't change the aperture/f-stop or shutter speed (or maybe I can and don't know how to use my camera, who knows).
