‘Tis the season to get in touch with your inner Home-Ecky Becky and bake! This is a persona I rarely visit – I love to cook, but baking is not my strength. So imagine my surprise when I was able to successfully make these fabulous, chocolate-dipped almond cookies! Wow (if I do say so myself)! I sorta felt like a little kid who just made her own toast for the first time. Look! See what I made?! All by myself!
Wow your friends and family with your amazing baking skills!
