It was my friend's birthday yesterday, and since I wanted to do something nice for her, I decided to bake her some of my cookies and give some Nutella to go along with it. :)
Here are the cookies:
Here are the cookies:
And this is the story that goes along with them: Basically, I don't like spending extra money if I don't have to. Since ingredients cost money, I decided to...take ingredients for free from as many sources possible. In other words...
- I took baking powder, baking soda, vanilla extract and espresso powder from my aunt when I visited her a few weeks ago
-I took butter, 1 cup of brown sugar and an egg from the dining hall at 9:30 in the morning (as well as spoons+bowls, which I returned after)
-I used some random person's bowl that was in the kitchen
-I went to someone else's dorm kitchen to bake everything (since mine is TOO SMALL and kind of disgusting)
-I saw some foil in that other kitchen and used it
-I used a baking tray that was in my dorm's kitchen
...total cost of ingredients (flour)+Nutella: $5.30, split between 3 people--$1.70 total cost. WONDERFUL. I am so Asian. ^_^ (HAHAHA to Asian smiley face)

LOL Megan I remember as a freshman Mindy would always bring cookies that you made and they would always be absolutely delicious. Those pictures are stunning and I can't believe you made them in a dorm! That's ridiculous. Come visit me sometime, all right?
