Cookies!

My parents had given Jamison and I (really to me) a Kitchen Aid mixer for our wedding gift! I was so excited that I got one that I decided to try it out and make cookies in it for the first time!


This is my Kitchen Aid, I am not one of those weirdos who call their appliances real names such as 'Frank'. So...this is my Kitchen Aid mixer. It only looks dirty because I had finished mixing my yummy cookies that I was making!



I had decided to make my favorite homemade cookies, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pudding cookies! The cookie dough, to me, is the best part. By the time the warm cookies are out of the oven I have no interest in eating them because I had eaten already so much cookie dough! This cookie dough is the best!



And because I have an artistic husband who is in a photography class, I have the added pressure {inflicted by myself} of taking impressive pictures with different angles. Plus, Jamison’s camera is really fun to take pictures with because of all of the cool things you can do on it. So this is me with artistic pictures.



And this here is the final product! Perfectly baked cookies! I was so proud that I didn’t burn one batch of cookies and it made 4 dozen! My secret is to take out my cookies 1 minute earlier then what the recipe calls for, only because the cookies still cook on the pan after it is taken out of the oven. Because I had so many leftover cookies, I delivered some to Lindsay and Rob (my sibling in-laws) and my next door neighbors Kasey and Megan. Trust me, Jamison and I didn't need 4 dozen cookies! I would say that I gave some to Jamison, but he inhaled them so quickly that without these pictures that I had taken there would have been no evidence that I had made cookies at all!


My first experience with my Kitchen Aid? Success!
