Sweet Temptations Cookies

Yesterday I showed you what doesn't make the cut. 😂 Today is a whole different story. Fresh dough to finished cookies, this is what my cookies are actually supposed to look like. Thick,made from scratch. We will be at Capital City Public Market this Saturday in Downtown Boise. Come find us and grab yours before they sell out. 🍪

Redemption arc in progress. 🍪 Yesterday was a disaster. Today we are back and doing it right. Fresh dough, hot oven, thick handcrafted cookies cooling on the counter. This is what makes the cut. Capital City Public Market this Saturday in Downtown Boise. Come find us. 🍪

Well this is embarrassing. 😂 Let's have a little small business confession moment shall we?
I did this. All of this. With my own two hands. Nobody to blame but me. 🙋‍♀️
These poor little flat sad cookies had ONE job. ONE. Look delicious. That's it. Just look delicious.
They chose chaos instead. 😭
Into the trash they went. No hesitation. No mercy. No negotiation. We do not send ugly cookies out into the world.
The GOOD ones, will be at Capital City Public Market this Saturday in Downtown Boise. Come find us and taste what happens when I actually pay attention to the timer. ⏱️😂🍪
Apparently that step is important. Who knew.
Now it's your turn. Drop your best kitchen fail in the comments. I know I am not alone in this. 👇

I have to be honest with you. The lemon raspberry cookie did not pass my own test.
I baked the first batch today and the texture was not right. Too soft, too cake-like, nothing like the thick handcrafted cookies I am known for. I could have convinced myself it was good enough. I did not.
Tonight I am back at my kitchen counter reworking the recipe. Tomorrow I bake again. If it comes out the way I know it can, I am bringing 24 of them to Capital City Public Market this Saturday at Grove Plaza in Downtown Boise.

This is what it means to bake in small batches. Nothing leaves

I baked the first test batch and it was not what I wanted. Too cake-like. Not the thick, dense, handcrafted cookie Sweet Temptations is known for. So tonight I am back in the kitchen reworking the recipe from scratch.
That is what small batch baking actually looks like. I will not bring you something I am not proud of. Tomorrow I bake again. If it is right, it comes to the market Saturday.
24 cookies. One shot to get it right. Follow along.
