Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies

I used to eat the store-bought versions of these cookies quite often when I was younger. I always thought they were so sweet and soft and wondered how they made them that way.

Diddy Rieses Cookies

Continuing on to my trip to SoCal months and months ago… I had such a blast. It was my first road trip with just my dad and it was pretty fun. We didn’t have the greatest relationship when I was younger. But now that I’m older, and somewhat wiser, we can bond. Do things together. Eat. Talk. And just… bond. You know… that kind of deal.

Baking Class 2011

Deciding to take a baking class was probably one of the most fun decisions I had all year. I met some new people and learned how they like to bake and who they bake for. I got to spend more time with one of my friends, since she wanted to take the class with me. I was able to bake almost every week something new and got to learn some new techniques. Oh, and did I mention you just bake cookies?! It was so awesome to me because I love cookies so much!

Chocolate Nutella Cookies

Nutella can be a wonderful little spread. You can spread it on bread, be used in crepes, or just eat it straight from the jar. But that’s only half of the fun. Nutella is wonderful for baking. There’s so many recipes for everything Nutella that you might never get bored of it.

White Chocolate, Cranberry, and Macadamia Nut Cookies

Since I have been out of college for a couple years now, I haven’t really taken any real vacations. My trips these days consists of taking a couple days off and driving down to Socal and going to Disneyland. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Disneyland, but I would love to actually use my passport and go on a real vacation out of the continent to like Europe or Asia.

Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies

These little cookies look so pretty, but they’re actually extremely easy to make. That is why I decided to make these last minute for my company garage sale. The day before, I decided I wanted to bake something for my co-workers who would be working that weekend for the garage sale (only a select few were chosen to work). I thought it would be a nice treat.

Thick, Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

One of the reasons why I love making cookies so much is because each person I have ever spoken to has an all-time favorite cookie. If you haven’t read my blog in the past, my favorite cookie of all-time are chocolate chip cookies. It could also be a white chocolate cranberry cookie or peanut butter cookie.

Peanut Butter Cookies

It is officially summer. And man, is it a hot one! I get in the sun-bathed car after work and it’s just too hot to touch! 🙂 It’s time to enjoy the hot weather, but I’m still getting used to it. Just a few weeks ago, I was wearing a fleece hoodie. It might take a while to get used to.

In the mean time, I will stay indoors and bake my little heart away. These cookies were made for my mom’s potluck at work. I love peanut butter and chocolate, so this recipe was one to try. And because this recipe is based on Magnolia bakery, it was more of a reason to use this recipe.
