Do you remember your first baking experience?  Did you make cookies?  Or brownies?  Or something more complex than those?  I remember baking cookies for the first time and totally being clueless that there is such a thing as 'over mixing'.  Over mixing is never a good thing; we must all remember that.  But unfortunately for me, I sure did mix the cookie dough quite vigorously.  Let's just say those cookies weren't the easiest/most pleasant to bite into.

Red Velvet + White Chocolate Cookies

It's perfectly understandable for little kids to get really excited when they receive something, right?  I think the same applies to adults, too!  Please don't burst out laughing but my goodness even I couldn't believe how happy and excited I was when I got two glorious kilos of flour.  Like I smiled one wide smile, buddy!  In my mind I was doing a happy dance and then stopped because 'Abigail, it's just flour, stop'.  

And then I remembered this adorable scene from Stranger Than Fiction where Harold gave Ana flours instead of flowers (get it?!):

100 points to Harold for being a cutie pie and practical at the same time!  Please, I know you'd be excited to receive bags of flour, too, if you love to bake!

Oatmeal Chocolate Coffee Cookies

Admittedly, I am (absolutely) not oatmeal's biggest fan.

But what do I have for you today?  Another post about oatmeal cookies!  Ha!

Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies with a twist!

When I discover a new blog and get smitten with everything about it instantly, I'd spend a good amount of time on it.  

Going through the posts, admiring the beautiful photos, enjoying the funny stories...it's a wonderful cycle really.

And everything is made even more wonderful when a cookie recipe has you inhaling 3 (okay, maybe 4) cookies as soon as they come out of the oven.  Don't tell me it hasn't happened to you!

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

I know what you're thinking.

We're still months away from the holidays and yet here I am with these delicious chocolaty chewy cookies.

But sometimes it helps to prepare in advance, right? Like how you'll note in your planner or calendar when you'll be making these amazing cookies...  Important stuff like that need to be allotted time.

Cornflake Marshmallow Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Could a (cookie) name get any longer?!  

Actually I'm not really complaining because how can I? This cookie tastes sooo damn good!

I should probably calm down for a little bit, don't you think?

White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies

I hope one day when I start a post I'll actually know how to start it.

So I'll bore you with a few things.

Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies

I think it's a given that when you bake cookies, your kitchen will smell heavenly.

These?

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I already had a post ready for this particular recipe.  

But that was when I could only use my camera's phone to take pictures.

And now?

Double Chocolate Chip Cookie: Halloween is over?!

I am typing this post on a Wednesday and on the next day (a Thursday, haha) we'll be leaving for vacation.

Anyhoo.
