Thumbprint Cookies

 I am finally doing a post!! It feels like forever since I posted! Well, my latest cooking adventure is thumbprint cookies with raspberry jelly!! I made them for Dad and Adam. Mostly Adam because he said he missed all the desserts I made! I do like to make desserts, but I started school and I haven't been doing all the things I've done in the Summer!

4. Energy Bars

These are really called granola bars, I don't know why the recipe said "energy". You must get a  lot of energy from all the seeds and nuts in the bars. I these were supposed to be easy. They were easy, until I put it in the oven! After 6 minutes, Mom said she smelled something burning. They couldn't possibly be burning because they have to bake for 30 minutes! After 26 minutes, Kelle came to me and told me "Your bars are burning!!!" I ran upstairs to the oven to see my once gooey granola bars now burned black from that oven. How awful!! Then, Mom came and told me a few things I did wrong. Soooo, I made them again, and they turned out WAY better than last time!! =] I even wrapped them in plastic for the full granola bar affect.

Rainy Day Fun

The foundation in which every baking item relies on, butter. I could not think of any recipe that I have baked without butter. Butter is the sensation of creamy delight and/or the simple word, fatning. Every French cook has to know that every recipe is going to have some bit of butter!!

This is the 5th recipe in the series of 300. Yikes!! I made two other recipes but I forgot to take a picture of them. =] The 3rd was called Yoyo's. They were almost like the Monte Carlos but a little bit different. The 4th was Black Pepper Shortbread Cookies. They had black pepper in it!! You couldn't even taste it!
5. Coconut and Cherry Cookies.

These were sooooooo easy. They only took 10 minutes to make and 10 minutes to bake. And there wasn't very much ingredients.

And by the way, it's raining outside!

2. Monte Carlo Cookies

For my dear Father's birthday, I made him Monte Carlo cookies! They are so easy and fun to make!! They are number 2 of 300 recipes that I am going to make! Rolling the dough and spreading on the jam, I just love doing it all!!! The filling has raspberry jam and custard filling!
One day I will go to Paris France and see all the fun food and desserts they make and get fun ideas!!

Baking in the Morning

I got up this morning and I thought to myself, what a good day for baking! So I got up and I made breakfast and some cookies for Dad! When I bake, I feel a big sense or accomplishment! "sigh" What one can do in the early hours of the morning!!
