Baking

I did some Christmas baking this weekend, and am currently trying to restrain myself (with limited success) from eating all the leftover cookies that I didn't give away. As you guys know if you've been reading my recent posts, I love watching baking competition shows.

I like making stuff like chocolate chip cookies where you can just dump spoonfuls of dough on the cookie sheet and be done with it. Or even better, bar cookies or brownies where you just dump all the dough in a pan in one go and cut them up after they're done!
