I baked cookies today. Which was something of a personal achievement, as I'd never baked cookies before. *g* I don't know why -- my mom used to make chocolate chip cookies all the time. I'd just never tried it. So I used this recipe (for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies) that I'd seen Tumblr'd by hannahrorlove, although I followed the comments and added more spices (ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cardamom) and left out the second cup of chocolate chips and all of the chopped walnuts. By the second batch I'd learned I needed to squish them down a little with the back of the spoon. Heh.

But they're good! And I learned a lot. Go me. :D

Your first cookie-baking! Yay! *g*
Those sound amazing, but I think you needed the second cup of chocolate chips. REALLY, NIGHTDOG, REALLY. ;p

[nightdog_barks]

Heh, if I'd put the second cup in, then they would've been Chocolate-Chip Pumpkin Cookies. Or even Chocolate-Chip Pum Cookies, because they would have been clumps of chocolate chips glommed together with a teaspoonful of pumpkin batter. LOL

Yay you!

[nightdog_barks]

I did it! :D

[sabra_n]

And now you have cookies! Truly the work that provides its own reward.

I'm generally not a fan of pumpkin (people are often surprised at this, I don't know why), but these look awesome!

Mmmmmmmm. Go you, indeed!

TRULY YOU ASTOUND ME WITH YOUR DAILY BOUNDARY-BREAKING, BB

To be honest, I think unless pumpkin is tarted up with sweeteners and spices, it's pretty damn bland. Plus it can have kind of a weird texture, so there's that. But these cookies are good! :D

I AM SUCH A REBEL, YO. MY NEXT CAREER MOVE WILL BE SPITTING IN THE STREET AND BOOSTING CARS.

... oh, wait. I don't have a career. ;-)

kind of a weird texture

I was in a mild argument the other day with someone who insisted to me that when they made pumpkin pie, it was the same texture as their lemon chiffon or French silk pies.

I am willing to believe this only if something has gone badly wrong with their French silk and lemon chiffon.

[blackmare]

This is exactly why you need a career.

The car-boosting could just be a hobby, I suppose?

[nightdog_barks]

Yeah, there's something wrong there. Heh.
