cooking cookies

Well i am not a very good cooker, backer, or anything that has to do with cooking. But yesterday I wanted some chocolate chip cookies. So I look up a recipe online because I had no idea how to make them. I got all the ingredients and started to cook. Well first i think i switched sail with sugar. That made them taste weird. when i put them in the oven I split them in two batched in case I messed one up. I did of course the fist batch I put in I burned. but the second was good cooked. But because I switched sugar for salt they tasted bad. After all that work and failing at cooking i gave up and cleaned up. Since i still wanted some cookies I waited for my mom to get home and asked her to make some cookies and she did. They were good.
