banana bread and chocolate chip cookies -- both total disasters.
banana bread was an epic disaster -- heavy, dense, dough consistency. and here's the thing -- same recipe i've always been using, no changes, no substitutions. i use "the best recipe" from cook's illustrated. sigh.
chocolate chip cookies were from alton brown, the chewy. not chewy, more cakey. and i've used that recipe a lot, too. hmm. maybe back to the nytimes for their epic one.
if anyone has a NO FAIL banana bread recipe, please let me know. i will be trying nicole's tonight --
