Baking Adventure: Chocolate Chip Cookies
So after the fair bit of success I had yesterday with the oatmeal-raisin cookies, I decided to try my hand at a classic today: good ol' chocolate chip cookies.
After the first batch finished cooling off, I plucked one off the tray, bit in to see how it tasted...and found it tasting kind of strange. I couldn't put my finger on it, to be honest. They tasted fine, but something just seemed wrong.
A few minutes later it finally occurred to me that the problem was my brain had seen cookies, remembered what yesterday was like, and, in a nutshell, was expecting the flavor of oatmeal-raisin cookies. So yeah, the problem was that chocolate doesn't taste like raisins. Go figure. XP
