Genius Hour: Week 5

I know my genius hour isn’t over quite yet  - but I really don’t know if it can get better than this. This week was the week of the funfetti sugar cookie!  The recipe came from http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2014/05/12/funfetti-sugar-cookie-cake/ , yet another recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction.

This was my first time trying a super-sized sugar cookie, so I was curious as to how well it would hold the texture. Thankfully, the recipe was described in great detail which was very helpful. The blogger reinforced key details like weighing the ingredients rather than just measuring them and explained why an egg and an egg yolk were important. This ensured that the cookie would be able to maintain the rich texture from the original recipe.

Here are some images from my final product:

I was extremely impressed by how this recipe turned out. The texture was chewy, the white chocolate chips and sprinkles complimented each other very well. I also got some great feedback from family and friends when they taste tested this for me.
