25 Day Christmas Baking Challenge Adventure: Day #2

I know what you're thinking: ooh Alexa (or some other variant of my name) you are cutting it close this time, it's already 11 o'clock and you haven't posted yet!  Well, do not worry, I am not losing at my own game yet.  And, just to be clear, there is no rule that says I have to post everyday, just that I bake or cook everyday, and blog about it at some point.  That being said, I do plan to blog as soon as I've tried something.

Which brings me to today's Adventure: my attempt at Fortune Cookies.  Notice I said "attempt."  This is because, as you may have guessed, they did not turn out as I would have liked.  Neverfear, they still taste fine, but they are not thin, they are poofy, and I couldn't fold them.  This is due to the fact that I missed a step in the instructions: spread out the dough dropped on the tray into 3 inch round circles. Duh.  So they are poofy, but they taste alright.  They would be embarrassing if I had people over, but since I just made them to try, they didn't take very long, and no-one will know except for you and my hundreds of loyal readers, (eyeroll) it is all very well.

So that was my adventure for today.  The Fortune cookies don't take very many ingredients, nor very long to make, so I may try them again tomorrow.  If I do, and if they work (a lot of ifs!) then I may (and a may, wow!) post the recipe online.
Happy Baking!
