Ok, so Friday I totally said that I would remedy the whole not posting 3 times last week, and that I would this week, well I’m sorry to say I lied. Certainly not on purpose it’s just that I realized that today is the one year blogiversary for Holly’s Cheat Day! and you can’t just go and post Mon/Tue/Wed & Friday, that’s just crazy talk π
I can’t believe it’s been a year, it has totally flown. The biggest clue that I have a little blogging time under my belt are my photos. I am not by any means saying ‘wow I’m awesome at food photos look at me’ but some of my earliest ones have me questioning if I had ever even picked up a camera before π
It’s been a super fun year so far sharing recipes and getting to talk to and befriend fellow food lovers, so thank y’all soooo much for swinging by my little silly corner of the interwebs see I told you it was silly, y’all are super awesome. Soo, I have some yummy cookies for you guys today. They are soft, buttery and have a wonderful maple glaze on top.
These were very easy to throw together, and baked up really quickly but I would like to point out that the batter needs to be kept at least mildly cold, because the last few cookies I made the batter was more room temperature and they did not hold their shape at all during baking and looked really weird. Anyways, thanks again so, so much for all of the comments and just being here in general π Have a wonderful day!
