Chocolate and butterscotch chip cookie pie!

Ok, after drooling at the recipe and pics for almost a week, i managed to get down to trying out the chocolate chip cookie pie i found on bakerella. ( credits for this recipe goes to http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2008/04/chocolate-chip-cookie-pie-oh-my.html). Sadly, what i got looks nothing at all like the pics i saw, go take a look, i swear anyone will drool straight away.

Here goes :

Yeps, so here are my first pics of my first attempt at baking since setting this blog up. I really need alot more camera skills, and I gotta learn how to present my food better. This was quite an easy recipe to make at least, but.. the recipe gave the amount of butter in cups! how does anyone measure a cup of butter?? so I tried and converted to grams myself based on some weird idea I had. and I ended up adding too much butter to the pie. It was really oily when i first took it out of the pan, but luckily most of that excess oil din stay on it when it was transferred to the plate. The recipe itself is quite foolproof though, just take everything, and mix them with a mixer in the right order. Almost impossible to screw up.

In the end, the taste was quite alright, I think i made it abit too sweet though, I have this tendency to always add slightly more sugar than called for, and I added Nestle Butterscotch Morsels as well, firstly since I poured all the choc chips I had in and it still was not enough ( I think) and also cause I just wanted an excuse to use those butterscotch chips ive been nibbling on each time I walk past the jar sitting on my dining table.

I considered making my own chocoloate syrup to top off the pie, and then eat it with ice cream, but on the first sampling, I realised, all that sugar will probably get someone killed if they so much took a slice of it, so Ill leave that till the next time i try this recipe again. And, Ill make sure I actually bother to make a pie crust ( when I learn how to ) to line the cookie.


Yeps,my first official baking post! Thanks to all who dared to try it and told me it tasted fine =)

P.S
HJ- If i ever do this again, Ill make sure ur the first person who gets to try it.

Omg.. i actually made it

Woot! I finally made this thing, Ive got so much to learn about this blog stuff anyway, never imagined in my life id even have a blog, but here i am.

Well, i hope everything turns out well enough, I always give up on things halfway, so hopefully ill be able to keep this going on as long as possible. And I have totally no camera skills, no decorative skills, and almost no baking talent either, so im quite worried that its just going to be boring. I can imagine like 20 posts about plain butter cakes. ggxx.

Ok, i should stop here, dun wanna spoil the place with non-baking related stuff, my first creation since setting this up is going to be posted soon! Once im done eating it that is. And most importantly, if I do end up with some skill at baking and manage to fill this site with pictures of mouth-watering cakes/cookies./muffins/etc etc etc. credit will go to Belicia. for linking me to www.tastespotting.com which inspired me to do this, my mum, for teaching me how to bake and paying for all my ingredients ( $9 for 200g of chocolate chips??? wth???), my maid, lita, for cleaning up the kitchen everytime i spill eggs/flour/sugar/butter, and to anyone else that ate my stuff and supported me =)
