After a mango Day 24, I am back with a vulnerable cookie moment. Vulnerable because this cookie involves frosting, something I suck at. I am so bad at it that I accidentally made a poop cookie 😭 I posted it online, got some good roasts, and then deleted it from 2-3 places.

What I did today:
- Made brownie cookies - 70g brownie batter + 10g choco lava centre made up of chocolate chunks.
- Had leftover vanilla frosting, which instead of putting in a piping bag (can't afford another failure), i simply put it in a bowl and used a spoon to scoop it.

My vision: A brownie sundae, but does it look like it? What else can I do to improve it visually?

Tasting Review:
It's going to be biased, but I absolutely loved it. I feel I should send some of the cookies to you guys and see if the cookies actually taste decent or if I'm just imagining it. Any of you live in Delhi NCR?

Learning:
A small learning: don't give up on something (frosting for me) if you are not able to do the ideal way. Find your own ways to do that, and you might have created something.

Thanks for reading! 🥰

After a quiet Day 23, I am back with a mango cookie 🤓 As the mango season is ending, I want to pay my tribute to this summer fruit. Pardon for the bad videography 😢

What I did:
- Made 6 cookies; every 2 had some alterations.
- First 2: 50g dough + 5-6g dried chopped mangoes
- Second 2: 50g dough + 5-6g dried chopped mangoes + 5-6g white choc chunks
- Last 2: 50g dough + 7-8g white choc chunks
- I also made a mango frosting to layer my cookies with. And had some leftover mango puree/mango chunks.

Learnings:

1. Cookies with fresh fruit-based topping have much less shelf life.
2. Generally, the rule is to keep the frosting and the cookie separately and put the frosting on before consuming.
3. There's also a concept of cold cookies, so in case you like your cookies cold, put the frosting on the cookie and store it in the refrigerator in airtight conditions and consume it within 1-2 days for the best quality.

Tasting Review:
- The white chocolate (sweet) and the yogurt (tangy) frosting go super well.
- The little mango chunks in between give a nice experience too and add to the chewiness of the cookie.
- My personal favourite: 50g dough + 5-6g dried mangoes with the frosting.
- Without the frosting, I didn't enjoy the cookie as much tbh because the dried mangoes were a little less in quantity, and so I wasn't getting the taste of mango.

Thanks for reading :D

Haven't make butter cookies for a long long time, almost forgot the piping 😂

Super excited to use this bread for my husband’s lunches this week. I literally only followed cookies video- didn’t even read the post and it looks great. Can’t wait to cut into it once it cools💕

Attempted the choco chip brownie pie cookies and sometimes I am viscerally reminded that dimensions make no sense to me. I did freeze the choco chip cookie dough overnight, but it was probably overstuffed anyway, and then the brownies really escaped containment. I cut the excess from around the rings while they were hot, let the others cool in the rings and then nudged them out. Theyre friggin delicious, so this was not a waste! They just dont look perfect. So sad, will have to try again!

They became a bit huge .. 😂
