On this, my 40th birthday, I am reflecting on how much I love birthday cake!
As my mother has stated about me - anyone who knows me well, knows how important cake is to me.
Since we had our family celebration on Saturday, I have been able to enjoy my birthday cake for several days already. Yum!
Being that I am an early January Birthday, my year seems to start on the 9th, not the first.
I am super excited about what is going to happen with my business this year, and all the upcoming projects.
I decided that I wanted to work on the best chocolate chip cookie (CCC) recipe. Well, of course, everyone and their dog claims to have the best chocolate chip cookie recipe! I did a search for the best CCC and found that this is quite a popular topic. There are so many variations to this classic cookie, and several people have set out to test for the best. So, I will conduct my own testing using two of the "winners" from others' testing and a few of my own.
I was going to start this on Friday, but discovered that I had zero chocolate chips in the house. How that happened, I'll never know. So, I organized part of the pantry instead, bought chocolate chips over the weekend, and started the testing today.
The first, which I am baking right now, are the CCC's from my Junior Chef Cookbook that I received for my 9th birthday. They are an easy, yummy cookie that has been my favorite for years (many). I asked Little C if she wanted me to make CCC's and she asked if I could also put white chips in them. Could I say no to that....NO! So, part of the batch is Chocolate and White Chip Cookies.
Batch one has been baked. I haven't tried them yet - birthday cake earlier and I don't want to be in a sugar coma for my birthday dinner. I will taste them later, and get the reviews from my taste testers.
Tomorrow in the test kitchen - whoopie pies!
Test batch two of the CCC's will be in the near future.
