Happy Thursday. This has been another crazy, busy day. It started with chess club this morning, then off to work, after that we had a practice event at the junior high for our school district for science Olympiad. It went well. Home at 8:30, dinner, showers, and baking. I was not sure I could get it all done today but I was not going to drop the ball with only two cookies left. It is now 10:00 and I am done with two hours to spare. I have never made a brownie from scratch, it was not nearly as hard as I would have thought. I do believe I may try this again. The recipe was different than anything I have baked before. I was very leery of melting my butter in a saucepan with 3/4 cups of water (and chocolate) it just seemed odd, but it worked just fine. Another thing I have never been able to accomplish is the whole marbling thing, in the past I have always played with it to much and ended up blending everything together. I am proud to post my picture of the wonderful marbling that has been done today :) The flavor of this brownie (cookie) is very good. The only thing I am not sure about is that my chocolate chips did not melt and I am not sure why. It is still yummy (especially if you get a bite of the chocolate chips). Ta Ta for now see you on Monday for my last blog. It makes me very sad to type that actually, who would of thought??

P.S. You guys will get your cookies tomorrow on the field trip. Looking forward to it.
Danielle, you did a great job with the marbling -- the brownies look perfect! The chocolate chips won't melt in the same way that they don't melt when you put them in chocolate chip cookies. It's nice to get that extra bite of chocolate in your mouth.
ReplyDeleteI just want to welcome new follower, Robbie. He's a 20 year old young man that I recently met along with his beautiful family. He told me he likes to bake and cook (a prize for a lucky woman someday)! When he mentioned that he wanted to bake his way through the book... well, I just had to tell him the story of "friends and cookies". Welcome Robbie! Theresa G.
Danielle, The marbling looks perfect. I did make this recipe lots of years ago. I thought all the ingredients sounded really good and they were.
