Day Four: Cookies

Today was truly an interesting day in class, in that we made our first trek to the church kitchen where we will be cooking. The class split up into 10 groups of 2 to make homemade cookies. I've never really baked anything homemade, so I was a little intimidated, but it worked out well. My partner, Kevin O'Quinn, and I made homemade Snickerdoodle cookies. While Snickerdoodle's are usually not my favorite, I actually really enjoyed these. The cinnamon was extremely pronounced, and it was a crisp cookie. The other cookies that were made included the Triple Chocolate, a Chewy Chocolate Chip, a Thin Chocolate Chip, a 1-2-3 Shortbread, White Sugar, Brown Sugar, Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, and Butter Jelly Jewel. Out of these, my favorite was probably the Chewy Chocolate Chip, as that is how I prefer my cookies. It definitely was a learning experience in the kitchen, and I was a little nervous that my cookies would not turn out well as all the others had. But in the end, these fears were unfounded, as I enjoyed my cookies, along with those of everyone else.
