Something Old Something New

Because I somehow completely forgot to do a post last week despite having a reminder come up on my phone and having it written in my calendar I started preparing for this post on Sunday. Yep, that's right. Almost a whole week of prepping for this one. It most likely won't happen again though.

I was going through my recipes and the ones I had saved on Pinterest looking for some inspiration. And then I decided to look up new recipes. Because why not? That's when I got the idea for this post. Why not do a whole bunch of different kinds of cookies? I don't have to write up each recipe myself. No no. I can instead link you to all the recipes for the cookies I baked throughout the week. And of course write a little blurb about each one.

I felt like an absolute genius when I came up with this idea. Mostly because it gave me an excuse to try out a whole bunch of new cookie recipes. Not to mention taste test them. Oh yeah. That's the best part.

A Rose By Any Other Name

A cliched title. Sheesh. I must be running out of ideas.
Haha! Just kidding.
Really though, it was the most fitting title for this treat.

I found a recipe on Pinterest (no surprise there is there?) and thought I would try it out. That was way back in the summer. And while it turned out not too bad I wasn't really too happy with it.
Here's a link to the original recipe: http://therecipecritic.com/2014/08/cinnamon-roll-breadtwists/

My resulting treat was much too thick and dry. I had followed the recipe to a tee and I even went so far as to add a little extra of the butter, sugar and cinnamon in the hopes they would turn out a little extra gooey. No such luck. And while I found the recipe to be a very good one I was not satisfied. Thankfully no one else complained. At least not that I can remember. Haha!

A New Year's Twist

Thanks to a post-Christmas flu bug this first post of the new year is being done later than I had planned. Sorry folks!

Each new year brings a lot of promise and excitement with it. And of course a chance for a fresh start. It can be intimidating. Like a lot of folks I made some new year's resolutions. Some are pretty typical (like wanting to be healthier) and some are more personal. One resolution I made revolves around Little Miss K's Cookies. It's both simple and complicated. The complicated part is more of an in-depth explanation of the simple part. And it would probably end up taking up this whole post. So let's not do that and I'll just stick with the simple part so we can move along to the main attraction.

The resolution is this: Work to improve and build on what I've already begun with Little Miss K's Cookies.
