My New Kitchen Aid Mixer and

The Inaugural Recipe

My new Almond Cream Kitchen Aid Mixer from William Sonoma..

I LOVE it. It’s BEAUTIFUL. I really wanted the mint green color! But i decided that i might not always want my future kitchens to be mint green, by obligation. So i choose the Almond Cream, which i love! I thought the white was boring and the black looks cheap. But, the Almond Cream looks more vintage-y!

On January 1st, 2012

I used my mixer for the very first time. I decided to go with the classic “Chocolate Chip Cookies” for my inaugural recipe.

Not just any Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe! This isn’t the plain, regular recipe on the back of the chocolate chip bag. This is MUCH better. I’ve never really like the recipe on the back of the bag. It doesn’t even come close to this recipe.
