Because life has been busy and I’ve been adulting. For the first time in 5 years, I’m not working from home every day- and it’s an adjustment. But we’re four weeks in and I’m starting to settle into a pattern.

A pattern that involves almost constant motion and busyness. A pattern that is forcing me to be organised about everything. And a pattern where I’m still baking- but a bit behind on my writing!

So, let’s catch up! I’ve expanded my cookie empire… well, not really but I did bring them into my new job- and they were a hit. I refuse to make it a habit….REFUSE! Famous last words !

This week I made the Double Chocolate Chip Sprinkle Cookies from the I Heart Naptime cookbook. It’s a great cookbook with lots of recipes that can be made an under an hour, and most of them are crowd pleasers!

I also made (another) Christina Tosi cookie recipe from her All About Cookies cookbook. I made the Pretzel chocolate chunk cookies and they were great! I’m a massive fan of Christina Tosi- she’s the cookie whisperer.

Two weeks ago, I made Pat McCorkle’s Chocolate Chip Cookies from the One Big Table cookbook. I didn’t love them. They had oatmeal in them and I didn’t love the oatmeal chocolate chip combo. Some people did, I didn’t.

This week is a challenge- chocolate chip cookies. There are SO many recipes, so it’s hard to choose just one. Even my favourite bloggers and cookbook writers have MULTIPLE recipes for chocolate chip cookies on their sites- so how will I choose just one???

I’m tempted to try these althought not sure about the 24 hour resting time! I do love Smitten Kitchen so these could be great too! Or maybe we stick to Christina Tosi’s super easy recipe…. Or maybe we try a few and see how we go!
