that's what she baked.
Adventures (and misadventures) in the kitchen from a novice baker.
I also made cookies. Of course, there must be options for sweets at my party.
The thumbprint, or as I like to call them, pinkyprint, cookies flattened out a lot and were super weird looking but tasted fantastic and the peanut butter cookies pretty much came out perfect.
Not the best picture because I only realized this one looked like a heart after it had been put in tupperware and transferred to an improv show, but still neat.
Variations On A Cookie Dough OR Sugar Cookies: 2 Ways
On Saturday I baked. I finally used my new *stand mixer and was so very happy to start my day with sugar, measuring cups, summer tunes and more. I began with a snickerdoodle recipe from my Flour book.

Anyway, so I made the dough and was forming it into little balls and rolling them in my cinnamon sugar mixture and because I was making them little, I had about a million… and I thought to myself… I’m going to make another cookie out of this cookie! I have made snickerdoodles before, and the dough, pre-rolling it in cinnamon and sugar, basically tastes like a sugar cookie. While I’ve never made thumbprint cookies before, I figured that would be a good match with this dough.
I also decided to roll the thumbprint cookies in large-crystal sugar, which I use for Dolly Partons, to add even more sweetness and then I smushed it with my thumb and filled it with 1/2 a teaspoon of strawberry jam, that I just happened to have in my fridge. And viola! I have myself a second cookie from one batch of cookie dough.
I reallllly loved the way the thumbprint cookies came out. They flattened out a little too much, but ended up being so very delicious.
*Using a stand mixer was totally crazy. SO different. I thought I would feel more detached from baking, but I didn’t, really, it’s sooo good at doing it’s job. I just need to keep a better eye on how long
