I don't know what I was thinking but I somehow decided to up my baking skill by making two things on the same day. How crazy was that? Or how crazy am I? I can hear my friend Becksy saying "You're a crazy Joker" now. And I'm not denying that. Because as a Joker fan I am a Crazy Joker.
On Thursday I decided to go crazy with the buns by adding food coloring to the mixture, I chose red as I wanted to make pink colored buns. I won't write up the recipe as it's the same recipe as any other bun recipe, but with 1 drop of food coloring of your choice.
Then afterwards I made chocolate chip oaty biscuits. I used the same recipe as I did before. Here's a recap:

But instead I added half a bag of chocolate chip cookies as I felt like experimenting. Think about it, ain't that what baking is all about? Experimenting and tampering with ingredients? And working out if whatever ingredient you want to put in will work?
