The cookies tasted very good, but I messed up on them in a spectacular fashion. Not only did my nice round little blobs of dough expand to envelop the entire cookie sheet, but they also stuck to the sheet with glue-like tenacity. I guess that's what happens when a non-baker tries to bake. Self rising flour wasn't available, so I made my own with 1 Cup of flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Is this where things went wrong? Maybe. I'm sure the recipe itself is blameless. The "cookies" themselves were very tasty. I do love almond! I will try again, and figure out where I went wrong. I'm sure more experienced bakers won't have any complaints about their cookies.

I'm a grad student and published writer living in England (done in 1 month!!) doing an MA in Novel writing. I am working on my first novel about a female anti-hero. I love "bad girl" characters. I live vicariously through them. When not in school, I live in Florida. I have two amazing kids age 7 & 9.
I am addicted to all things black and pink. Black ballances the overly sweet pink, so I love the two colors together. My ultimate want is a pink car! Not a Mary Kay monster, but a cute small zippy car. I can't stand SUV's. There is no need for living rooms in automobiles. soccer moms need to realize you can't look HOT in a SUV. It's up there with tapered jeans. There's no reason being a mom can't mean feeling great about yourself! Trade it in for a sweet sedan like a VW passat. Easy parking is just one of the perks. :)
