For the next two weeks someone I know has a birthday. Every. Day. Plus throw Easter and Passover in there and I got A LOT of baking to do.
My schedule is as follows:
Friday: Make cake batter truffles for my roomies bday part, refrigerate till party on Saturday.
Saturday: Make chocolate chip cookies and olive tapenade for party. Be sure not to mix up the two.
Sunday: Bake Guinness cupcakes for friend Danny's birthday to deliver Monday.
Tuesday: Bake TBD cupcakes for friend Anthony's birthday (thinking carrot cake...)
Wednesday: Bake chocolate caramel cupcakes for office bday party celebrating all April birthdays.
Thursday: Bake flourless chocolate cookies for Passover.
Saturday: Bake candy corn cookies with Easter colored candy corn.
Following week: Bake thank you still-to-be-requested treats for my landlord, try lemon egg cake thing, help mom with Baklava and Easter Bread for Greek Easter, search for chocolate dipped macaroon recipes per request... possibly bake said macaroons, probably not till the following week though.
Phew. Here we go!

The World's Best Chocolate Chip Cookie
First off, thank you everybody for all the wonderful emails I've been receiving regarding my blog. Good to know you're all reading and enjoying my adventures. Thank you thank you! :)
I see a lot of recipes out there titled "Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Ever". Oh really now? How are all these different cookies and recipes all the best? I guess I'll just have to take one for the team and start researching. I bring you The-Worlds-Best-Chocolate-Chip-Cookie Research project.
Cookie #1: This recipe included a story about how these cookies were so awesome that they would induce a marriage proposal, so naturally I was intrigued to start here.
I just lied to you. Nothing smells better than brown sugar in melting butter...
Basically these cookies were pretty fantastic and despite burning the first batch I was able to get the perfect timing on the last one (11 min = cookie perfection).
Summary: While there is still no diamond ring on my left hand, it's hard to imagine a more perfect chocolate chip cookie. They're good both hot and cold, excellent texture (not too soft, not to crispy) and just all around yummy. I think my test subjects around the office agree and my roommate has dubbed them the best thing I've ever baked. But, there are others out there claiming they are better so we'll have to do our due diligence and keep trucking.
