Baking issues #1- Sibling Rivalry Cookies

1/2 cup of butter, soft

4 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup sugar

3 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

zest of 4 blood oranges

1 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 cups dried cranberries

1 cup white chocolate, chunks

3 pinches of rose petals, dried

Mix it up, everything, randomly, a free for all, like stockings on christmas. Mix it up til the dough is soft, like your kid brothers face after it got pummeled.

Roll it into balls, like your sister rolled you up in that blanket, that time, and threw you down the stairs.

Place bloody cookies 1 inch apart, and bake @ 350˚ for 12-14 minutes.

Please note that you should definitely use white chocolate and do not replace with another white, chalky substance, like bones or teeth.

baking is therapy

This winter, crippled beyond my wildest imaginings, I dreamed up the idea to use baking as therapy...  Any issue you need to excise on the shrinks' couch, can be better excised through making a delicious baked good, eating the fuck out of it, and then expelling it through the ass end of your digestive tract.  But- I was too crippled to bake by myself, and I actually had never baked anything before. 

My dear friend Krysia, however, possessed both a functional body and an even greater body of baking knowledge. I implored her to aid me in my project, and she (thankfully) was happy to oblige.

What has followed has been a collaborative effort.  We meet approximately once a week, we concentrate on all those shitty things a therapist would salivate over, and we bake. We have made delicious cookies and cheesecakes, and more deliciousness is sure to follow.
