I'm not a baker. If you follow my blog, I often write that Baking is not my forte but I try to bake once in awhile, especially those that I know I can manage. I've always been confident in making chocolate chip cookies, they don't really look pretty but i can assure you that they really taste good.
So my cousin sent me this knock-off recipe from a very famous pastry chef in New York, and I immediately bought the ingredients and waited until everyone retreated to their respected rooms so that I can have the kitchen all to myself.
I already placed my mixer in its box so i was kinda lazy to just bring it out again. Besides, I kinda needed the arm exercise.
It took me atleast 10 mins to incorporate the butter and the sugar. It's called creaming by the way. By this time, the over was already pre-heated.
I made small and big cookies from the batch. I'm a fan of chunky big-size cookies but I felt that it's more practical to have regular size ones so that my senior parents can munch on them as well.
My friends are encouraging me to "sell" my products online (join in on the bandwagon) but I told them that I'm confident that my cookies are tasty-but I can't promise if I can be consistent. I'm not saying that I can't be consistent, but my confidence level is not yet 100 percent.
I see alot of people selling their products online. I'm sorry but some of these are not even enticing to the eyes. And I'm no expert in cooking or baking, but I can almost always say that some dont even look edible. Like why would you even sell that?
Trust me, I am interested in selling my cookies and or even my buchi ( will do another post on this) but I need to be confident first that i can provide my consumers a consistent product. It's not just food here, it's my reputation on the line.
But that's just my opinion... I still wish everyone success, and if I can help in any way in promoting your product, just give me a shout out and will gladly do so... I support local, especially start-up businesses with potential.
