I have been doing quite a bit of baking over the week. I have baked this delicious pumpkin bread that was enjoyed by my family and friends. I also baked some chocolate chip cookies for my kids. I got the recipe from a cookbook lent to me by my co-worker. The recipes in the cookbook are simple and mostly come from family and friends. The author, who is also from Vancouver, has some excellent baking tips to share. If your butter and eggs are at room temperature, the cookies will be thinner and crispy. With cold butter and eggs the cookies will be thicker and chewier. With this tip in mind, I was able to make thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies that were a hit with the family 🙂
