Hello Everyone!

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right thread so if I'm not, moderators can you kindly put it in the right place? :)

So i'm totally EXCITED this morning. Last night was a really test for me and I think I passed it with flying colors! :D A customer of mine asked me to bake her some cookies. She knew I was a "baker" and asked me to make 3 types of cookies for her for her grandma's wake today. At first, I didn't want to say yes because 1) I had my H1N1 vaccine and wasn't feeling super well and 2) I was terrified that i'd fall off the wagon sampling those little cookies!

But of course, I couldn't say no! Anyway, last night I baked up 3 types of cookies. The first type are Hazelnut Melting Moments which chocolate centers, the second are a lemony pastry filled with Nutella and Walnuts and the third is a traditional italian Amaretti.

I'm thrilled to report that I ate 3 cookies total. 1 cookie from each batch genuinely to taste if they had turned out right. I had the points for it cause I rushed through dinner and ate very little so I could get a head start on the cookies!

I'm very proud of myself, prior to WW I just would have ate, ate, ate, ate them until I felt sick to my stomach! But, last night I knew I could have 3 and that was ALL I had!!

It feels really good to be in control! :)

Sorry if this post is a little long! Also, if you want to see what these little cookies look like I posted a pic in my blog!

Have a great day and thanks for reading!! :hug:

Congrats! that is awesome! I am also a "need to test my own work" baker. I checked out the pictures, and I can tell you I would have had a hard time stopping at one!!

Any chance you could PM me the recipe? This looks like a wonderful Christmas cookie.

Good for you! :bravo:

Those cookies both sound and look absolutely divine. I would ask for the recipe as well but I'm too scared!

Congrats!!!! That's a huge NSV!! And man, not only do they SOUND delicious, but they look it too!

They are divine!!! :S

I'm going to post the recipe up on my blog! :S

Great job! Those sound really tasty! Im not sure if I couldve stopped if I had 1. Eck.
