Writing this cookie blog? Was it right or was it wrong? 🤔 3 lessons I will touch on. Baking Tasting Industry We have finally arrived at the last blog post! This is the end of the Shookie Cookie, and we are ending this blog with a good ole' fashion reflection. Looking back to when I first created this blog, I was little apprehensive about the topic. I didn't know to much about cookies, except eating them of course. Nevertheless, I persevered and managed to learn many things from posting on here.  It we take a look back at all the things I've blogged about, I've learned about baking, best kinds of equipment to use, good bakeries to visit, well know pastry connoisseurs, good brands and flavors of cookies, and other things among them.  I went into this thinking I would be just posting about my taste buds , but I have been enlightened about how vast this industry can be and how I can utilize my new knowledge about cookies.  On the other end of t...

FAQ Post!!!

Top Ten (possible) Frequently Asked Questions Why did you pick cookies as the topic of your blog? 🤔🤔 I picked cookies for two reasons. One, being that it, for the most part, has been very easy to post content about cookies. I mean only a handful of people don't like them. Second , I panicked when being asked to pick a topic and that was the first thing that popped into my brain. I had to rationalize it later.       2. If you aren't passionate about cookies, what are you passionate about? That's an excellent question! I will post more links about ways to get to know me better, but in short I am passionate about many things. I love to write and read; stories make me happy. I also really love advocating for LGBT things. I am in the MATA group, which does work with Transgender Awareness and support. The last really big thing I love is music, the way it speaks to people, is incredible. Anyway, those topics I felt would be hard to blog about because t...

Cooky Cookie Comparisons

For this blog post, I have quite a fun bunch of information to share! My task was to compare two things that are related to my topic of cookies. Thus, I figured with Thanksgiving at the end of this week, what better thing to compare than baking the cookies themselves! My mother and I went head to head in a BAKE OFF. We each scoured the internet for the most interesting cookie recipes the world had to offer and we picked Crinkle Cookies!   These decadent cookies are  double chocolate cookies rolled in powdered sugar. What’s not to love?! Easy. Fudge-y. Delicious!  Something that most people don't know about me is that I can't cook at at all. I have the black thumb of baking. So when comparing my mothers cookies to my own we made many observations about our differences. First in foremost, one big difference between my mothers cooking and my own was how we made the dough. I've always stirred most things with just my muscle and a spoon. However, it would seem ...

OUTRAGEOUS!

W elcome back to the shookie cookie blog, and today this blog post will my reaction to some news I saw recently! The New York times posted an article earlier this month on  T he Rounds , a new cookie made in Brooklyn, at the Restaurant Pilotworks. The owner was going to release these cookies for sale in the restaurant but suddenly they were forced to close indefinitely.You would think that the pastry would stop there, but when the chef found a new independent kitchen to sell her cookies, and soon after they started sweeping the city. The Rounds are a soft, circular, buttery cookie that is coming in very interesting flavors. The flavors are  Parmesan-olive, Cheddar-chive and anchovy-scallion!  What the hell? Some other notable  weird cookie flavors  are Avocado, Chile, Banana, or Olive Oil. These cookies stemmed from the idea that the ingredients we cook with we should also be aloud in baking recipes as well. This kind of baking, while celebrat...

New Month? Lets talk about the Product of the Month!  ðŸŒŸ⭐ I'll be expecting lots of  'oohs' and 'ahhs'  While there were lots of great options out there for this month, I have made the best choice to picking milk! Specifically Fairlife white milk! It is an amazing product that not only goes great with cookies, but is lactose free!  The founders, Mike and Sue McCloskey started with a dream. They not only have strict way of treating their cows and farms, they also believe in  high quality, great tasting, and nutritious milk. The dairy company has been under fire for some time now, with lots of people claiming that dairy is scary . There are lots of stories that are crushing and heartbreaking. To learn about how the cows could potentially be treated is very motivating for not drinking milk! However, Fairlife is the best kind of different! As taken straight from their website, the co-founder Mike McCloskey started his career as a cow veter...
