Cook the Book: 'Baking Unplugged'

I tried to impress a date by making my mom's "amazing, fool-proof" cookies (in front of him, very risky). While melting the chocolate, it ended up seizing up in the pot. The resulting batter was so stiff, it was impossible to scoop it into anything resembling a cookie. I was mortified, but my date thought it was pretty funny.

Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'

I had talked up my baking skills to someone I was dating, and promised to make some of my mom's famous chocolate-oat cookies for him. Maybe it was nervousness from him watching while I made them, but somehow a drop of water or moisture got into the chocolate, and the whole bowl of batter seized up completely. So much for showing off my baking prowess!
