January Treats

One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to bake my way through this cookbook I got. It’s called 100 Cookies, and it is cookies, brownies, and other treats. There is no way I will be able to actually finish the cookbook this year because I’d have to make something like every other day, and I just don’t have the time for that. But I’m going to do as much as I can! Here’s what I got through in January…

Peanut Butter Brownies

These were delicious. The recipe called for a crunchy element, but I forgot to buy it at the store, and honestly don’t think I would have liked them as much with it.

Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’ve been making the same chocolate chip cookies (ala Nestle Toll House) for years and years, and these blew them out of the water. I’ll never go back. They also kept much better than my others, which was a big plus.

Sugar Cookies

These were good for being a sugar cookie, which is not my favorite treat. Husband loved them. I thought they could use some extra sugar in the form of frosting.

Lemon Pie Bars

These weren’t my favorite, but that is probably because I don’t like pie or citrus flavored things. They got alright reviews from the family, but there were plenty of leftovers, so I don’t think they were a big hit.

Brownie Cookies

These took some trial and error to figure out. The recipe called for letting the dough sit at room temperature for five minutes before baking, but I had much better results when I refrigerated the dough for several minutes instead.

Neopolitan Cookies

These are basically a sugar cookie where a third is flavored with chocolate and a third is flavored with strawberry. They weren’t my favorite (blame it on the lack of frosting), but Husband and LG enjoyed them.

Homemade Marshmallows

Who knew you could just make marshmallows? LG has been very into marshmallows lately, so I decided to try to make my own! They are definitely better than store-bought marshmallows, but honestly I’m not sure they were better enough to be worth the effort. LG was pretty happy about them though.

I had a lot of fun baking this month! I also really enjoyed taking and editing pictures of the treats. It was nice to have a project just for me. Now I need to just find someone to take all the extras that I don’t need laying around my house…
