After our disastrous dinner out last night I was left feeling down and really wanted a restaurant to redeem themselves. We ended up going out for Cuban food at our favorite place (and maybe only in the area?) called Mojito. As the name suggests, they are known for their mojitos and one is definitely enough if you are driving. To make sure I got my recipe in, I decided to bake again before we left for dinner. While perusing my "500 Cookies" cookbook yesterday I had also came across this one and wanted to make it. I definitely was not impressed. I'm finding this to be a pattern with baked goods. I may have mentioned this before when I was on my previous baking kick, but I feel like most of the baked goods recipes I've tried do not measure up to baked goods I can buy at a good bakery. They're more on par with what you could get at a grocery store. I likened them to a brownie and Eric didn't think this was a bad thing, but I just want something to taste amazing.
Things I learned from this recipe:
I made everything correctly and it looked just like the picture but that doesn't mean something is going to taste great.
Would I make this recipe again?:
No
Not exactly the recipe I used, but this is similar to the one in my book: The recipe
