Geesh my oven is so darn weird when baking anything.


I normally don't bake breads or desserts. Yet this blows my mind.

Tonight I decided to do so and baked both crescents and cookies at the same time.

The times and temperatures were similar yet only just a bit different.

For the crescents it says 350°f for 12 to 15 minutes

For the chocolate chip cookies it says to bake at 375°f for 8 to 12 minutes for small cookies and 9 to 11 for large cookies.

So thinking to do both I used 350°f and perhaps a bit longer. As well put the cookies on the bottom shelf and the crescents on the top shelf.

As you can see the crescents turned out perfectly. Unfortunately not so for the cookies which were a total loss being mostly burnt, all but the largest. Too embarrassed to post a picture how badly the cookies were burnt. My peanut butter cookies turn out a whole lot better than these.

I would love to bake my own bread. The bread in the stores is shite 😞

@Lilymoon I should really know far more about baking then I do. My father was a baker and as a kid I often work with him. Yet only infrequently.

@DeWayfarer One of these days I'mma learn how... there are apparently some pretty easy recipes out there that don't require kneading or a bread maker...

@Lilymoon my half brother managed to make a decent banana bread and I have done the same with a chocolate chip muffin bread. ...
