I love to cook. Regardless of what I make, I just love it. I’ve always had this idea that I wanted to go to culinary school, but I say I want to do a lot of things, that one is just on my bucket list.
I always just cook the same things over and over again, just a different week. I like my comfort zone but I’ve always had this desire to step outside of that zone. Now I’m going to. I want to be able to cook something different (or something the same with a new twist) every time I cook.
I’ve been exploring Pinterest (a whole lot might I add) and I love looking at the different pictures and recipes. So I’ve decided that I’m going to get out of my rut and start cooking something new every chance I get. But I’m not going to be unrealistic and say everyday because I love some of my so-called “rut” dishes and lets be real who doesn’t love a good meal out here and there.
I can already say that it wont be anything extravagant or anything but it will be something different for me, a new challenge. That is exactly what I need.
Dish One.
So of course it being fall and apple pie season, I made apple pie cookies .
I found the recipe from pinterest, which took me to The Food Pusher’s blog for these Dutch Apple Pie-lettes. Now I tried to go exactly by the recipe but I’m sure I strayed a bit at times. Like adding a little bit more cinnamon and powdered sugar on top.
Prep time probably took about half hour, maybe a little more because I made a HUGE mess. Whoops. My dog got to enjoy the scraps all over the floor, making for a very happy puppy.
Also, I’m not really working with the best cooking space. So everything literally was everywhere.
Another thing, when you are making cookies regardless if it is from scratch or break and bake, you have to try the dough. (I always justify this by telling people that you are making sure it isn’t poison).
This uncooked dough wasn’t that great plain and the topping tasted a little funny too, so I was a little nervous. But 13 minutes later the house smelled unbelievable and I had accomplished my first recipe!
These cookies were so delicious, now the next task is to make sure they last more than a day…
A little blurry but here they are!
