I’m a big fan of roll-out cookies. Smash a bunch of ingredients into a bowl, beat them, roll them out and cut them out.
I don’t know why that’s so satisfying for me, but I guess that’s why I love baking and cooking. You put specific amounts of certain things into a bowl, treat them the right way, and you get cookies. Every time.
It’s like magic.
If you want to make cute “ninjabread men” like these, you can pick up the cutters in my Amazon shop!
