Oh my goodness! It has been forever since I've posted anything in this blog, but in all honesty, it's been forever since I've had time to do any baking!
The begining of the year few by as I traveled back and forth to Calgary several times and finishing up my third year at university! The summer was no different, it was jam packed and some how all too suddenly past by as well. Now, I am into my second month of internship and finding it all very busy!
For now, I have some pictures of some wonderful sugar cookies I made in the summer time after I returned from Calgary Stampede. At Stampede, the only thing I bought was a set of lovely cookie cutters, and of course, I HAD to use them right away! So I baked up a perfect bunch of sugar cookies and iced them as soon as I could!
For the cookie, I used a recipe I found on Sugarbelle's website. Here's a link to the recipe! Everyone should definitely check out her website! It has so many helpful things for cookie makers and the designs of her cookies are phenomenal! If you follow her basic sugar cookie recipe, you will absolutely fall in love with the taste of the cookies.
After baking and cooling the cookies I whipped up some icing and flooded the cookies with it. I went back and added a few simple detail once the icing had set. I love the way they turned out, especially for it being my first time "flooding" cookies.
Let me know what you think of my Cowboy Cookies!

For Christmas my sister got me Buddy Valastro's book "Baking with the Cake Boss." I told her that since she got it for me we could make some things out of it together. Last night she decided that we would make the Chocolate Brownie Clusters. I let her be in charge of making them and I would help her, she wanted to leave out the walnuts but I think they would have tasted so well in there. As it turned out the cookies didn't turn out looking so good, but they still taste yummy! They were a different kind of recipe, they were really light and fluffy almost. I think if we would have whipped the meringue longer they would have turned out fuller.
Tonight, I made the Peanut Butter Cookies from the same book and they turned out so wonderful! They are really rich and full of peanut butter chips and milk chocolate chips so its a bit different than other Peanut Butter recipes. I liked this recipe because it is quick. They are only in the oven for 8 minutes and the rest of the baking is done on the pan.
This book is full of great recipe and tips and tricks to baking AND decorating which is perfect for me! I can't wait to try out all the other recipes in the book! If your into baking and decorating, I suggest you get this book, its AWESOME!
