New Feature: What I Baked

In an effort to be better about this whole blogging thing, I’m going to share my baking efforts. I love to bake. Baking is my jam, my stress relief, my hobby-of-choice. It’s how I worm my way into people’s lives: be my friend, and I’ll bake you cookies! (Or cake, or brownies, or lemon bars… Not bread. Never, ever, ever bread. I can’t bake bread for shit, so don’t ask.)

My first What I Baked post isn’t actually anything I baked. We’re creeping up on July in Mississippi, and it’s hot as balls outside. So what I baked made today: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles!

 

 

If you don’t like raw cookie dough, then I don’t think we can be friends. Raw cookie dough is the best. I actually made two different recipes for these babies. The first recipe I tried was a bit of a dud. The cookie dough had no flavor (despite having a tablespoon of vanilla. Crazy, right?) The second recipe is really good. I didn’t follow the recipe for the melted chocolate part, so these guys have to stay in the fridge or they melt all over your hands. BUT THEY’RE STILL DELICIOUS.

(Confession: I ran out of melted chocolate because I made two batches, so they aren’t as covered as they should be. Don’t judge me.)

Aren’t they pretty? Don’t you want one?
