Why cookies?

Baking is one of my hobbies I enjoy most. It is a way for me to calm down and relax. I love being able to grab ingredients, mix them together, and end up with something tasty, well, hopefully.
The reason I chose my theme as cookies instead of just baking in general is because I usually don't make cookies. I always have cookie recipes that I really want to make, but because, to me, it's easier and faster to bake cakes and brownies I usually just make those and save the cookie recipes for another day when I'll have more time. So, to finally stop myself from procrastinating, I'm challenging myself to pull out all those cookie recipes that I've marked down or saved and finally get to baking them. While I'm doing this I'll also be giving you guys the recipes, some helpful tips, and what my thoughts were about trying out these recipes. I hope you'll enjoy!

  3. Baking and cooking is one of the things I enjoy the most too. I wish I could have more free time so I cook more. Cooking and baking relaxes me and makes me feel like I have the power to do many things and multi-task. I look forward to those recipes since I love cookies too!

  4. I've always enjoyed good cooking and always promise myself I will learn one day. Unfortunately, that day has yet to come. I really enjoy your theme of cookies because cookies are one of my favorite baked goods. Good luck with your cooking!

  5. This sounds really interesting. I always watch baking shows like Cake Boss and Ace of Cakes. I love baking in my free time, when I have any. Cookies and sweet foods are my favorite things to cook. I am not that good at making cookies from scratch, but always try to, they always seem to taste too much like baking soda for some reason. Hopefully one day I will be able to cook better and enjoy the cookies I make.

  6. I love cookies! I think it was an awesome idea to make all of your blogs about all sorts of cookies! I really enjoy baking all sorts of things. I'm not sure if I like baking cookies or cakes more. Cookies take much shorter to get done, while cakes take a little longer. The only thing I don't like about baking is the waiting part. I usually just stare at the clock like a little kid hoping that the buzzer will go off. I think your blog is going to make me really hungry!
