Baking #1 - Cookies

Hai all! I baked some cookies today and wanted to share some of my experiences while baking recently! (more writing below picture)

Recently, I have been trying to stop being on my phone and other devices as of late, like many others. I have decided baking after dinner helps with walking around a bit and not just rolling into bed and not doing anything I would really like to be doing. I love baking with my family too, having someone to sit and watch a Ghibli movie really makes the baking experience a billion times better. 

I really don't do anything crazy with my cookies. I tend to only follow recipes and switch out some of the ingredients to help fit in with my family members' preferred eating habits, usually switching regular flour for almond flour. Although, from personal experience almond flour is ok with cookies but NEVER WITH MUFFINS. When I made blueberry muffins about a week or two ago I used almond flour, it certainly wasn't the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten but the inside was dry and if you ate it too quickly it would hit the back of your throat and you would be coughing for a while even with WATER. UGH T0T .... In any case, there really isn't anything I would rather do some days than bake a few sweet treats! hehe! 

I hope everyone can enjoy baking simple things and find as much happiness as it gives me!
