Last Christmas one of my relatives gave me one of her cookie recipes that I'd been asking for, and today I finally got myself to actually try and use it. The first patch burned a bit at the edges, and the second one had a few cookies that expanded in the oven a bit too much and melted together, but other than that, they turned out fine. Definitely making some for my birthday again 'cause that's when the said relative is likely to visit. Gotta prove that I'm actually making them.
