Baking in grams



I've had some issues with my internet but hopefully it's just from the bad weather. Yesterday was an adventure of the baking sorts and Hiroko-san, A-san, Sugi-san and I tried to make American Cookies. Since I love baking and it was Ogawa's day off, Hiroko decided I could share my love for baking and pick a recipe. I thought maybe Japan would have all the ingredients for Peanut Butter Blossoms and it's American and family enough--it's at every Christmas we have and is the recipe on the back of the kisses bag. 

However, it turned out peanut butter is hard to find in a variety and we found Skippy chunky peanut butter, Hershey's doesn't sell their kisses over here so we used Penguin chocolate and then I used a converter to change the temperature from F to C and then from cups to milligrams. Wow. But, in the end, they taste pretty darn good. : )
