Sometimes We Win, Sometimes We Lose

Tonight I experienced a little of both! We decided that we needed something sweet. That darn sweet tooth just won't move out, no matter what I do! So we searched through our new cookbooks to find something tasty. Chocolate chip cookies were agreed upon and off I went to the kitchen to work some magic.

Well, magic doesn't come so easily to me in the baking department these days... My first try came out of the oven like this...

Cookies, anyone?? Ick! My husband assured me that they taste fine! That sweet man. They say that learning how to cook allergen free food is a trial and error process, so I try to expect this each time I try a new recipe. But all I can think is, "What a waste of all that flour and those expensive chocolate chips!"

After analyzing our "cookies" (I'm not sure they are even worthy of that name) we decided that more flour was needed. Makes sense since we live at a high altitude. I'm just so afraid to alter these recipes that are so specific. So we added more flour to the remaining dough and the result was much better!

Mmmm... chocolate chip cookies that taste ALMOST like the ones your mom used to make!
