I have today off, but Josh had to work…so I am having a “me” day. I am going to the gym, doing a little shopping, cleaning, and baking. I also hope to start a new book and relax for a little bit.
After the holidays, I took a baking break. I tend to overdo it during December, I just can’t stop baking. I love it, but it wore me out this year.
My break didn’t last very long. I missed my KitchenAid Mixer, she is my best friend in the kitchen, besides my husband:) Baking is also a great stress reliever for me-I need to bake-it cheers me up. I turn on my tunes and let my creative juices go. I love the entire process- measuring, mixing, taking my creation out of the oven, testing, and sharing with others. Baking makes me happy. I just love it.
I was having a “down” day last week so I decided to bake dark chocolate cranberry cookies to lift my spirits. These cookies did the trick. I loved getting back into my baking groove. I usually do white chocolate with cranberry, but this time I decided to go dark. I loved the sweet cranberries with the deep dark chocolate. Mmmm!
I am going to make these for Valentine’s Day-I think they are the perfect cookie for the day of LOVE! Bake a batch for your special someone!
