For the past few days, my computer has been working pretty hard at earning itself a nice spot at the top of my list that starts with a capital "S". Thankfully my super sweet and super smart husband was able to fix it for me! Being ever so thankful, when my grandma said she was coming over and offered to teach me one of her recipes, I asked her to teach me how to make her cinnamon rolls. My husband loves them! Of course since I'm lazy good at time management, I had her tell me the ingredients and I made the dough in my bread machine. Once the dough was ready, we did the rest by hand. Thankfully, the bread machine produced granny approved dough!
While we waited for the bread machine to do it's thing, we decorated cookies! You see, ever since I started reading bake at 350 I have been obsessed with trying to decorate cookies like she does. She explains everything she does so well and makes it sound so easy. Well...it's not easy but it's definitely not as hard as I thought it would be. Of course as you can see from my picture above, my cookies are nowhere near the awesomeness of hers but they are the cutest ones I've ever made so I'm pretty happy with them. It's pretty surprising how hard it is to make a straight outline with frosting. It's always a bummer to find out that there are even more muscles in my body that I've been neglecting! It's okay though. We had a fun time decorating these and my family is more than willing to eat the ones that we practiced on!
It was a fun sugar filled day! I really enjoy having someone to bake with sometimes. How about you? Are you a lone baker or do you enjoy getting together with others to bake?
