175 : baking cookies for the bf

Truth be told, I'm dating the Cookie Monster...well, he may not be blue and hairy (thank goodness), but he's one no less. After a particularly difficult past few days, and with some extra time on my hands today while he worked, I thought a baking adventure might be in order. Armed with Alton Brown's cookie recipe, my first 2 pans were an epic failure. 5 minutes into baking, the lovely smell of burning food filled the house (I promise I followed the recipe). So, after 2 pans of cookies in the trash, and a lower oven temp, we had absolutely amazing cookies.

If you're a cookie lover, check them out. I think they're the best ones I've tried...but please note, I needed to turn the oven down to 300.
