So this morning I made cookies...and for the first time, I have made cookies (or any other baked good) that I was fairly certain that Shannon would not like. She's not a fan of raisins...where I, on the other hand, love them. So I used the recipie from Baking Illustrated: A Best Recipe Classic (The Best Recipe Series)
The only problem I really had was that I think I didn't make the balls of dough big enough. The last two cookies that I made (with what was left of the dough), were a bit bigger then the rest, and came out with a wonderfully crisp (but not overly so) and nice and puffed up. The others, which tended to be probably 1/3 to 1/4th smaller, had a much crisper bottom (not burnt, but too crispy). Of course the recipie said it would make 18 and I made around 26, so that does account for it a bit. I'll have to remember it for next time. Texture is good, and I'm looking for comments on them (I'll be taking them down to Cedar Rapids today, for my younger brother Joseph's meal of smoked meat (which he's gotten into)).
Anyways, fairly satisfied, good recipe...
