Alese's Cookie Recipe



Today I read with interest a recipe posted by Simon and Alese on their eating Melbourne blog page. The recipe looked quite easy - but what really hooked me was the picture of how they turned when Alese made them.

I was inspired. A night at home and all the ingredients on hand - Jo out at her college course - nothing much on TV - I decided to give the cookie recipe ago. With my laptop on hand for the recipe and a big mixing bowl we were ready to go.



I took the Alese's advice and made a double quantity mix. I needed a large bowl to hold all of the mix.



After quite a bit of mixing and mess all over the bench, I was ready to shape up my cookies.



Well at the end of the exercise this is what turned out.



They taste quite good - but just don't look as good as Alese's did

    i've learned some great cookie making tips from my roommate. she mixes the dough, then uses a baby icecream scoop (one with the trigger release thing, and super small), and drops balls onto a baking pan that's been lined with a "Silpat" (a french silicone liner). As the cookies bake, they naturally expand and take on a cookie shape - no need to squash them or make them look like a cookie before you cook them!
