I set out to bake my first batch of cookies on the third weekend in November. Over the previous two weeks, I’d spent time and money on bakes I found annoyingly underwhelming, and looked forward to an opportunity to regain faith in my skills. Little did I know that the first recipe I tested would turn out spectacularly awful: picture a slab of shapeless, overbaked dough, looking nothing like the pretty round cookies I’d seen in the recipe’s Pinterest-worthy pictures. There I was, facing the third baking fail in three weeks; I’d wasted the only weekend I could dedicate to baking before the deadline, and hadn’t thought of a Plan B.
What next? The usual: getting my act together and finding the energy to bake on the few evenings I had left (not the easiest task after a stretch of 10-hour working days, but my only option nonetheless). Searching far and wide for a recipe I could trust. Breathing sighs of relief when I discovered that my biscuits were as good as the smell coming from the kitchen promised. Finding that, despite all my worries, I was already looking forward to the next Cookie Swap. I love the thrill of receiving packages full of homemade treats, and enjoy making someone’s day with a sweet surprise even more.It only hits me now that around 150 biscuits travelled through my kitchen, feeding a crowd that reached far beyond my Cookie Swap matches. My partner and I, munching on cookies while watching episode after episode of The Killing; my work colleagues, and his colleagues too, adding up to more than 50 people. It was the first time I baked on such a large scale, and I feel proud, for my Chocolate Button Biscuits were a hit with everyone who tried them. I hope Laura, Annie and Roshni enjoyed them as much as the ravenous cookie monsters at my office did. And I hope they’ll try my recipe when they need to feed an army of chocolate lovers, because one thing’s for sure: it works a treat.To know details visit our site http://allindiayellowpage.com/.
