Baking and Mistaking

Hey guys!:)

First of all I have to say, that I love cooking. Before TKK I attended a school, where we had cooking as a subject once a week and in the end we had to pass a final exam, so I learned a lot there especially to maintain my passion for cooking and baking. 
So, our homework task, to find a food blog on the internet was funny for me and I spent my afternoon navigating through several food blogs. Suddenly I came across that one, which caught my attention: www.bakingandmistaking.com/
It seems perfect to me, because I am very interested in desserts especially cookies and cakes. There are recipes of brownie cookies, trio cookies, mini apple pies and even Oreo cheesecakes - what else could you ask for?!

As I have seen some blogs also concentrating on baking before, there was something missing: pictures. They can change a lot within a few seconds. I recognized that the last hour because if a food blog doesn't consist of any pictures, it is completely boring and looks too serious. Pictures make texts look more inviting and cheerful. Also the other visual aspects like for example background, font and colours are not inconsiderable, they decide whether your post will be read or not.

To be up to my own expectations of a good structured food blog, I added a picture and a recipe of 

Chocolate dinosaur brownie cookies:

Recipe: From the Smitten Kitchen Cookbook
1 cup (2 sticks/220g) butter or margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder 
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa, sifted

Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, three to five minutes. Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth and uniform.
Add in the four, salt, baking powder and cocoa and mix until incorporated and smooth, with no remaining flour streaks. 
Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for at least an hour.
Roll the dough out to 1/4" for thicker cookies or 1/8" for thinner ones. Cut shapes, transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake on 350 F for about 10 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
