Oreo Owl Cupcakes 🦉🧁 | The Best No-Fail Recipe for Beginners!

The Start: Chocolate Chip Cookies

A simple staple...but everything that is simple is not always easy. Let’s be real: there is nothing easy about baking. Hopefully, I can help make it easier. Without further ado- here is a simple recipe for chocolate chip cookies. 

Ingredients List: 

1 cup softened butter

2 large eggs

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

3 cups all-purpose flour 

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 cups chocolate chips (or as many as you desire, there is literally no limit- the more, the better). 

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Yes, there is a difference between wax paper and parchment paper). 

Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into one bowl. Set bowl aside. 

Cream together butter and sugars. Once combined, beat in eggs and vanilla. 

Mix dry ingredients into the butter and sugar mixture. 

Add chocolate chips! Be sure to fold the chocolate chips into the mixture, thoroughly. (Otherwise when you get to the bottom of the bowl, there won’t be an even equivalent of dough to chocolate chips. Be tedious, and make sure there’s enough chocolate chips everywhere!) 

Roll chocolate chip cookie dough into around 2 inch balls. (Or make them huge, or small. I don’t care, and that’s the fun in baking- you can do whatever you want).                                                                                  Now you have two options :)

Bake chocolate chip cookies in preheated 375 degree F oven, for approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for about two minutes before removing to a cooling rack. 

OR freeze your cookie dough. (This produces the most uniform cookies in my case) Store in a bag in the freezer, and whenever you’d like some fresh cookies- simply line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and bake the cookies for 12 minutes. Let them sit for two minutes on the sheet before moving to a cooling rack.

Enjoy your cookies! Or give them away, or stuff them into a pretty box. Or fool yourself as you stare at the melty chocolate chip cookies, into thinking you’ve made enough good cookies to think you may have a slight possibility of running a bakery out of your kitchen.

1st time making pizza!

date & time: march 14, 2020 saturday 4:17pm- 6:57pm.. total about 2hrs& 40min.

TASTE was good! What can go wrong with wholesome store-bought tomato sauce w/ onions and mushrooms! :D DOUGH tasted nice! Just about right flavor. TEXTURE was very bouncy/ cushiony/ thick because I forgot to fork out some of the air out of dough x). SHAPE & COLOR were a bit cracked but pretty consistent overall! It was a bit puffy because I forgot to fork out some of the air holes :D. note: don’t forget to fork out some air next time

here i made a video for visualization:

We are down to yesterday!! So, Ariel wanted to make pies!! Pumpkin pies to be exact, only because she wanted to eat whipped cream. I guess you cant have one without the other. After church was over we made them, the girls each made one, and they came out really good, and didnt take much time, effort, or money, lol. While waiting for the pies the girls played and went to church, I stayed behind to get some much needed work done in the girls roo. Since it was raining outside. When the girls got home I was ready with Mentos and Coke!! Ariel had wanted to do the experiment, forgot about it and I finally pulled them out to watch it fizz over. Also...it rained!! Like hard hard. I was worried a tree might topple over or something, it was wild. Anyways, o hope everyone had a good weekend!! #newus #firsttimehomeowners #kidsprojects #beginnerbaker (at Knoxville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci_eXQ-s7T6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Well I have to work on my piping a bit, but not bad for a first try. 😅 Cakes are from a box but upgraded with butter and milk instead of oil and water, and the icing is meringue buttercream with vanilla and orange extract. Probably should have saved this for June but I was hype for the decorating practice. I can always make more. #cupcakes #icing #baking #cupcakedecorating #beginnerbaker #bakedgoods #homemadeicing #meringuebuttercream #colorfulicing #swirl #colorswirl #blue #purple #nonbinary #trans #demiboy #transition #9monthsont #T #tparty

2nd macarons

made 2/17/20! monday. president’s day. So uh.. it didn’t turn out great again :( but def. texture was better than first. 1st ones were purely hard shell. These ones at least was a little more crispy/soft? and then a little bit chewy. More details below!! and comparison. NOTES FOR NEXT TIME: FOLD MORE, BAKE LESS MINUTES!

I think I took about 2-3 hours making them! Fun! I need to work out and get stronger arms so my arms don’t get tired holding the hand mixer. I refuse to go ahead and buy hand mixer now when I can’t even easily beat eggs to make meringue holding hand mixer.  Recipe I followed is: https://youtu.be/LAH3fukydOo Improvisations and notes: - Used 40g of Almond Flour and did not use clumps that did not make it through sifter. - Kneaded(?) mixed using regular size spatula. - Used 40g of egg whites. - For Merigue, took 6 minutes total with hand mixer-- after 1min, added little bit of sugar, then repeated that til I used all 35g. Then I beat 4 min on high. - When tapping out bubbles, shape remained stiff, it seemed like it did not pop out any bubbles b/c the batter had to be more flowy. - FLAVOR: I made shells just plain as is and for filing, I made my own WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE. I looked up several ganache recipes but I didn’t want to go get “heavy cream” so I improvised using oatmilk and using butter cream method from chocolate mini roll cake filling.  ((Oatmilk White chocolate ganache method:  Simmer 1/3 cup of oat milk, melt 4oz white chocolate in it. Separately, beat stick of soft butter, gradually adding 100g of confection sugar little by little so it doesn’t get grainy. Then, beat the chocolate mix into it. It tasted reallllly good and white chocolate-ly)) I thought I can give them away to a lot of people but my family actually liked the taste so much and ate so much, I didn’t have any left to give away. HEhe.. soo.. I was kind of proud of myself.

Bowls to show so I know how many to whip out next time before starting :)

After tapping out(?)... but didn’t go anything.. :(

Left it out for at least an hour to let the shell form skin. I think this helped a little bit than 1st time from cracking/slouching as not so much,

After baking 300F for 15 min. Maybe I should have baked a little less since my macarons are tiny?

I’m thankful this pic was taken. I didn’t realize shells were baked unevenly.

Actually put 2 on the left from 1st ones (I baked the day before) compared to right ones I baked for the 2nd time. You can see the texture difference.

Crying.

At least they look kind of cute.

Packaged for parents :)

Today was Saturday right?? I worked a little overtime this morning, just 4 hours. I couldn't wait to get off and as much as I wanted to just be with the girls I knew I had a lot to catch up on, God definitely had other plans for me because It was raining, and pretty hard too, so I couldn't do anything I had planned on doing. So I made Chocolate milk with Avery, made some bread, made some DIY playdoh for the girls with the girls and they picked their colors and glitter for their it, they loved it. We then packed up and ran some errands. When we got home Ariel tried out some Lego jello molds which was...interesting. Anyways, mom made food and the girls ate, I made more bread, made some cookie dough, and got the ingredients ready for making muffins in the morning. It turned into a long night. I hope everyone is having a good weekend!! #newus #firsttimehomeowners #kidsprojects #beginnerbaker (at Knoxville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiF3Znug0dL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just not as a fluffy...super soft..milk bread loaf.. but i am pretty proud of myself.. welps. better next time! *also, i mentioned that i was baking loaf and improvised chocolate cake from prue leith's chocolate mini roll cake recipe-- that will be in my '8th bake/ hidden video' in my next video& post !

Sooooo, Friday was interesting for sure. Ariel finished her first full week of school!! The teachers sent us pictures of the kids playing on the playground and Ariel got to participate in a hula hoop contest on stage!! Ariel has been pleading with me to make her a baguette and even though I dont have everything I'm "supposed to have" to make "right" I still did my best to make it while she was at school and I was at work, a lot of running up and down the stairs today. I was able to make 2 baguettes and baby round loaf and Ariel cut out a heart and star out of the dough. Then there was a blob of dough...thinking about it now I should have put the blob together with the round loaf...oh well!! The girls both took a baguette each without even asking and just devoured them, at least they liked it. Anyways, it's going to be a tremendous weekend full of stress and more stress. #newus #firsttimehomeowners #beginnerbaker (at Knoxville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chd722eMK2f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
