100 Cookies review 

Peanut Butter Cookies with Choc chips—awesome and HUGE.

Pan-banged Snickerdoodles—made slightly smaller, and still enormous.

Blondies—very buttery, like Toffee Bars.  Crowd-pleaser.

Oatmeal Cookies without raisins—slightly too big, a bit sweet. Add more oats next time.

Lemon Oat Bars—fabulous, and add more lemon next time.

Neapolitan/Cosmopolitan Cookies—try with regular cocoa next time.  No dye needed (Monica says, yes dye needed :)

Palmiers—used store-bought.  Slice thinner next time.  

Sables—simple & excellent.

S’mores Cookies without marshmallow—love the graham crumb!

Brown Sugar Cookies—simple flavor.  

Banana poppy seed-- great banana flavor, simple cookie

 

Pumpkin cheesecake-- tasty but not solid enough

 

Peanut butter-- non-panbanging, delicious

 

Smoked butterscotch-- grown-up treat

 

Espresso caramel blondies-- so so good

 

Rocky road cookies-- giant and amazing

In the past year, I have painted approx. 215 illustrations, paintings, etc.  I’ve attempted about 100 new recipes.  And I’ve read about 55 books.

My favorite of Monica’s knitting: Tewhenua Shawl, Dissent Cardi process, Brickyard Sweater, and my Murnong hat.

I liked the podcast illustration of the Sourdough Mother in a Weck jar, and all the things I painted for last year’s Gouachevember.

My family’s favorite recipe from the past year: Chicken Gyros, Toffee Bars. And I’m happy to have attempted Empanadas and potstickers from scratch!

My two favorite books from the past year include: Life of Pi by Yann Martel and The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes.

Thanks for listening!
