Final Product:

Overview

In the last 3 weeks I have cooked something savory. It was really nice switching to desserts. The first recipe I tested was the Salted White Chocolate Saucepan Cookies. This was by far my favorite recipe this semester. First, I love cookies, I have never met a cookie I did not like. Secondly, they were incredibly easy to make, everything was mixed in a sauce pan! Finally, the end product was delicious, a delicate buttery cookie with sprinkles. I know these were good because my roommates taste tested and came back for seconds. The second recipe I tested was Apple Fritters. This recipe was more difficult because of the cooking process. The recipe required me to heat a pot of oil to cook the apple fritters. Working with hot oil made me nervous and was difficult to dispose of after I was done. The final product was delicious, they were especially good when they were fresh with a few minutes to cool. My roommates enjoyed these as well, but they were not as good the next day. Overall, I am happy with my dessert selections and would make both again! 

Another recipe tested, another lesson learned.

Until next time, always save room for dessert!
