E is for Elephant Ears

I was really excited to make this recipe because anytime you are making something with a cinnamon sugar swirl has a high probability of being amazing.

The directions were easy, you make a dough, roll it out, spread melted butter on it, roll it up, cut it into fourth and cook it. I did not have a pastry brush so I used a paper towel. I think it worked well in a pinch.  

I’ve thought about getting a rubber pastry brush before but in my daily life the need for its use is so infrequent I would rather just use a paper towel.

They were so good! I honestly don’t think Broha was able to try one because Husband and I ate them all. I would hate to make a lot of batches of these but I think this could be a made beforehand and put in the fridge and then pulled out to bake when you wanted them.  

D is for Delicious Drumsticks

I think the thing that amused me the most about this recipe is that all week long I kept saying Wednesday is D for Delicious Drumsticks. On Wednesday we are having Delicious Drumsticks.

I was pleasantly surprised. When I do make fried chicken I take the chicken put it in an egg wash, roll it in Italian Breadcrumbs fry it in a pan with oil and butter and then put it on a baking sheet to finish cooking it off. It is so good!

This is the first time I’ve used a straight flour recipe and honestly, it was pretty good. I think dipping the chicken legs in butter helps a lot but overall I was really pleasantly surprised.

When eating chicken I normally take the skin off or just don’t eat it but this skin was good enough to eat. Husband and the Broha also approved. I think I’ll stick to my normal go-to fried chicken but this one did not disappoint.

C is for Chocolate Chip Cookies

Generally speaking, I normally say that my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe is Tollhouse's, however, these cookies were really good. They are just a good classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. It is easy to follow, the raw dough is delicious the smell is intoxicating. I loved that when I pulled these cookies out of the oven and let them chill for a little bit that you could pull them apart and see the melty chocolate chips. 

This recipe made about two dozen cookies which I am fine with. Honestly, I have about 2-3 cookie rotations in me before I'm done. I also think that if someone did want to make like four dozen cookies this would be very simple to double everything. 

I can say though I don't want to make more than 3 dozen cookies at a time I am also not a fan of just one dozen cookies either. 24-36 is my sweet spot.

I asked Husband if he wanted to take these cookies to work, he said no.

I asked him again, he again said no.

He was going to a poker game and I was like do you want to take these cookies to that game. He was like what is with these cookies? Is there something about these cookies I should know?

I said besides the extra ingredients of rat poison? 

After he gave me a look he was like seriously what is with these cookies. I told him that I don't have the opportunity to bring the cookies to work because I work from home so I am in my office. I don't need 24 cookies staring at me because I WILL eat them. I need to make them but then have them immediately removed from the house.

He understood after that and took the cookies to the poker game. 

Most of the other baking I've been doing has been doing to work with the Broha and his co-workers are enjoying this adventure.
