Slumping, but Still Baking

How about another blog post full of Christmas vomit?

No? Not gonna do it for you? Okay then.

This weekend was nowhere near as fabulously well-organized as last weekend was and I can’t shake the feeling that I’m kind of half-assing everything right now. I’m just…tired.

Which leads me to a spiral of “waaah, I don’t wanna go through life feeling like everything I do is mediocre and blaaaaaaah.” And then I remember what time of the month it is and give myself permission to just be tired because I’ve earned it (more on that later).

I don’t think I’ve really earned the right to splurge on every single kind of candy that appears in front of my face though.

Cause it’s not just one hershey kiss, it’s a handful of them. Every. time. I. pass. the. bowl.

I kind of don’t want to talk to me either, to be honest.

But life doesn’t stop for anybody so why should it stop for me because I’m feeling like less than my usual awesome self? It shouldn’t.

Anyway, I have a gift for you today and it comes from the place where I found the cake that almost killed me. These cookies, however, will make you feel like a champion of cookies and like you can take on the world. Once again, Sprinkle Bakes is the source of all that is good and delicious in this life.

So much win. Make them. The dough is like a dream. And I will even admit that I didn’t chill the dough as long as directed in the instructions. AND she added a note today that I completely didn’t see (since I made them yesterday) about making them in the food processor, not in your KitchenAid mixer – but I did mine in the stand mixer and had amazing results. So if you don’t own a food processor, know it’s possible to do them in the stand mixer but just be careful about not over-mixing your dough to the point where it gets too tough.

How was your weekend?
