So Many Colours!

It's still February and spring seems to be making an early appearance.
This is Manitoba though so the odds are high that winter will still surprise us with a nasty blizzard.
But in the meantime I know I'm not the only one enjoying this incredibly warm weather.
Despite a flu bug laying me low for a couple days, Miss K and I have still managed to get outside quite a bit over the past week.

Now, aside from flowers what comes to mind when you think of spring?
Rainbows!
So many pretty colours lighting up the sky and leading you to that proverbial pot of gold.
And that is what I am trying to accomplish (in a way) with this week's cookie.

More and more often I am striving to be more creative with my baking. I've been daring myself to take a recipe that I find and to make it my own somehow. Or to do something completely new. It's not been easy.
And I know that I am far from the first to do rainbow cookies.
I also know that I have some work to do to really get these right.

The Planning Stages

No new treat this week folks. I do have something in mind already for next week so don't worry.
No, this week's post is about some future plans I have for Little Miss K's Cookies. I hope you don't mind because that means that there won't be any pictures of cookies involved.

Remember how I wrote about doing a couple craft and bake shows a while back? Well, I'm planning on doing more of those. Not for a while yet. I've learned a lot from just those two and it's safe to say that I have a lot of preparing to do in advance.

1 AM Cravings Have Spoken

So this post is now a couple days late. Darn it!
I really would have liked to get this done on Friday. It was, for starters, a very hectic week. Aaaand..... I could not think of a single thing to make. I completely drew a blank. Until last night at around one o'clock in the morning when I felt this crazy need for something with peanut butter in it. That always seems to happen when I'm up super duper late. Figures.

Once again this is not a recipe that I came up with. But that's not much of a surprise at this point is it?
Makes me sad. I need to work on being more creative with my baking I think.

Off track! Sheesh!

I made this recipe for the first time pretty close to a year ago I think. I can't remember for sure. What I do remember is that everyone loved it. And my brother-in-law was slightly addicted to these.

It Just Gets Butter and Butter

Hahaha! Wait what?

No, that's not a typo in the title. This is a really delightful buttery kind of cookie folks.

And I'm already wanting more!

I posted on my Facebook page about making these cookies for this post and that I hadn't found the recipe. I actually did this one almost entirely on my own! I say almost because I had to look up similar recipes to figure out this one.

Let me tell you how I turned a box of cake mix into some super duper yummy treats.
