Process

My grandma and I had a limited time for baking over the break. We decided to bake a bunch of treats before Thanksgiving, so we would have dessert. My grandmom and I made chocolate chip cookies and brownies. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of use baking the chocolate chips cookies. However, I do have the recipe we followed to bake the cookies from scratch. We over estimated the time we had to make the batter and bake the cookies. Therefore, we kinda, “cheated” as my grandmom said, when it came to baking the brownies. We simply used the Ghirardelli brownie mix, but they still turned out amazing. To make our delicious desserts we just followed our recipes, so you are able to do the same thing at home. While we were baking, my grandmom said it was just like old times and that she was baking with a 10 year old. Nine years later I am still easily distracted, constantly wanting to eat the batter, and only slightly more helpful. I personally don’t understand how my grandmom is able to stay so controlled while baking and not eat the batter, because, after all, that is the best part. Since my grandmom has taught me how to bake when I was little, I already knew how to do so going into this project. However, I continued to learn how to bake from my grandmom, because it gave me a reason to spend more time with her and I will always cherish that. However, I did learn more about time management and timing when it came to cooking. My grandmom and I had the best time together baking, just like we did when I was little. I have attached some pictures that I remembered to take while we were baking brownies.
