Finished first batches of Christmas cookies.
Clockwise:
Caramel latte shortbread - perfect, no notes
Maple apple butter walnut - can only taste walnut but I'm not remaking them again
Ube crinkles - bake issues, needs extract not just halaya
Iced ginger molasses - perfect, no notes

Same recipe, top is unsulphered molasses, the bottom is blackstrap. Wee bit of difference in dough temperature caused the variation in texture. Taste nearly the same. #cookieparty

Normally I would have at least one good batch of each Christmas cookie recipe done by now, but my test batches have been garbage this year. The ube crinkles are finally done - didn't come out great, but I'm not remaking them again! And caramel latte shortbreads are done! #cookieparty

It has been a day, and it's not over. Got the cheap brie from Costco so it is a delicious dinner for 1 ahead of several meetings this evening. Bonus #blackcat #catsofbluesky

Thanksgiving bakes - pumpkin cinnamon rolls for breakfast, garlic dinner rolls, and apple pie. The teen helped with the rolls and pie, especially the decorations! One of the best Thanksgiving meals ever tbh.

Holiday baking prep today. Local apples to be used for cookies, cakes, and pies. Mostly right now I'm cooking some down into a sauce with whiskey to be used in whiskey apple hazelnut cake, which is the most delicious cake I've ever eaten and my new Christmas tradition.

This morning I went for a lovely walk in the woods. Then after the house emptied & the rain started dumping this afternoon, I turned on some jazz, got a soda cake in the oven, did some crafting while it baked & now enjoying it with nettle tea. Best Halloween ever! #bakingsky #samhain

Pot pie soup because I couldn't be bothered to make pie, with cheddar buttermilk biscuits. It was damn good eating. 🍜🍽️

Realistic Halloween decor, take 2. We've been trying to get Fizzy into the cauldron for the last month and she just wouldn't stay put, even after dumping catnip in it. I just looked over and there she was, sitting perfectly.

Brown sugar buttermilk cookies with vanilla glaze. They tasted kind of like scones, bit dry, not too sweet. #cookieparty

I love getting a CSA box for the things I wouldn't normally buy otherwise. A scramble with the usual bacon and onions, but including chanterelles, watermelon radish, and heirloom tomatoes on top, with a little provolone 🍜🍽️ And a giant cup of coffee ☕

Whidbey weekend adventure with my absolute favorite weather. I could stand for it to be a bit colder and a bit windier tbh. You will never, ever hear me complain about grey skies and rain.

In an ongoing effort to not rely on the internet for everything, we've been thrifting old cookbooks we'll actually use. I picked up this baby today, and let it be known, brownies and bars count! #cookieparty
