I sure do love girl scout cookies.


Mmm. Home-made samoas. It doesn't get any better than that! I could eat all of these myself but that would just be death. Haha. Since girl scout cookies only come around once a year, you have to learn how to make your own to last you throughout the rest.

Nothing to write home about...


So, it's finals week. Not a lot of time for anything but studying... But I still have the urge to bake at 10:30 at night. What to do? Funfetti cookies! A really simple, DELICIOUS cookie in less than 15 minutes. How can you beat that? These cookies remind me so much of Jeremy. He LOVED these, and I helped him make them once on his own. Let me tell you.. that boy and baking? Not a good combination. hahahah. This recipe only has three ingredients, too.. and he put too much oil. Greasy cookies it was! Ah, how I miss that kid.

Ingredients:
1 Box of Funfetti Cake Mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all the ingredients, roll them into 1 inch balls, and bake for 8 minutes. Ta-da!

Still working on that perfect vegan CCC recipe.


Alright so I've realized vegan recipes are wayyy harder to get down than normal recipes. This is my second attempt at getting a legitimate chocolate chip cookie that's vegan. I have my perfect non-vegan chocolate chip recipe already, though. The first attempt at cookies turned out too thin and didn't hold together. These are a great consistency (a little bit puffier wouldn't hurt), but the banana stood out too much for me. Chocolate chip cookies shouldn't taste like banana. ::sigh:: Oh well, I guess that leaves me with more experimenting to do...

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup margarine
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
vanilla (I never really measure vanilla)
1 banana
2 cups chocolate chips

Directions:
Mix flour and baking soda. Beat margarine, sugars, and vanilla in larger bowl, add mashed banana; add flour mixture. Stir in chocolate. Drop onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for ~11 minutes (or until golden brown) at 350.
