Imperial Sugar Company, As is true of many things, cooking is best learned through experience. I remember the time my friend Nicole and I decided to make chocolate - peanut butter no-bake cookies. I don’t know what we did wrong but they were terrible - even the dog wouldn’t eat them. I also remember my cousin Elizabeth and I trying to make chocolate chip cookies. We mixed the batter and baked them. The batter spread out so thin they were not recognizable as cookies. When we looked at the recipe, we realized we read it wrong and didn’t add enough flour.
Several years have passed since those two cookie attempts and I have learned to cook great food and enjoy doing it. I love trying new recipes and can’t wait to teach my two children how to cook. Maybe I’ll start with no-bake cookies and chocolate chip cookies!
