Baking Workshop 7/17, Monday Morning

[absolutesnark]

"Good morning," Piper greeted with a smile. "You're going to make oatmeal cookies today. With raisins! Unfortunately, I didn't have time to make samples for you. Sorry. I did bring muffins, though."

She pointed out muffins she had purchased earlier at J,GOB. Then she handed the students a list of instructions. "As always, if you have questions, do not hesitate to ask."

"Ugh!" Chuckling, Sakurazaki sticks out her tongue in mock disgust as she picks up a rhythem of little dough-ball making. "I think I'll take raw squid over raw cookie dough. I know, I know. What a freak."

"It's good!" Alphonse said in protest, holding up a small ball of dough between his fingers. "This is the stuff that becomes cookies, after all." He put the ball down on the cookie sheet.

"Becomes is a key word, I believe," Sakurazaki grins softly, shaking her head, putting the last of it on the cookie sheet. Her head tilts slightly as she looks down at the clumps of dough ready to go into the over.

"Hopefully, anyway," she assesses with slightly nervous grimace.

"We managed to make good brownies last week," Alphonse reminded. "I'm sure this will turn out just as good."

"This is true," Sakurazaki nods with a little grin. Maybe they wouldn't turn out like rocks as they probably would have if she hadn't had his assistance. "Thanks for the help again, Alphonse."
