Need baking help? Check out Baking 911

As you know, I'm pretty new to this whole baking thing. Although my experience is limited, I learn something new every time I bake. However, I still have tons of questions. Questions like, why am I adding eggs? What would an extra egg do? What if I used less sugar? How do I make the cookies softer? What does baking powder do? What is baking soda? What is the difference between salted butter and unsalted butter? And the list goes on and on...

Baking is pretty scientific. A good baker knows her ingredients and knows how they work. In my quest to broaden my baking knowledge I came across a great website that explains all of these things! For those wanting to understand a little more about the science in baking, check out:
