Baking Machine

Tonight is Jeremy's birthday party. In his honor, I baked. (Let's face it, I bake in everyone's honor!) It turned out to be the perfect opportunity to present a before and after shot while baking. I consider myself a decent baker; however, I got cocky. The cookie gods (there must be cookie gods!) saw fit to bring me back to Earth. Plain and simple, I did not give the balls of dough enough personal space. To see what I'm talking about, see the "after." At least they're still delicious!

Before: Scooping the dough (I highly recommend a melon-baller... works like a charm!)

After: Square cookies... good grief!
