It was quite a Sunday of food this weekend. I made chocolate chip “classic” cookies from the America’s Test Kitchen cookbook… I melted the butter on the stove… I mixed the wet ingredients together: There were a lot of ingredients and things on the counter… this picture was taken after I had put a lot…… Continue reading I made amazing cookies, and Tim made wings
