Baking is stupid. Sometimes I claim to enjoy it but that's only if I'm drinking wine while operating the mixer. It isn't fun or relaxing. It isn't an outlet for my creativity. You know what my creative outlet is? Writing while drunk.

Hey, you asked.

However, even though I dislike baking and the culinary arts when the holidays roll around I feel obligated to tie on my apron and attempt to bake some shit that will at least taste tolerable.

I recently found a very easy vegan sugar cookie recipe (which I will share later this week unless I forget which is likely unless I get a craving for more cookies and then I'll remember that I promised to post on the blog) and have been making a batch every weekend. Every time I make the cookies it gets better. Sort of. One of the batches didn't turn out AT ALL. I was out of Earth Balance margarine so I substituted apple sauce that I MADE MYSELF. In some recipes you can do this particular swap but sugar cookies is not one of those recipes. So one batch was a total failure but the rest?

Delicious town, population: ME.

And look, aren't they cute?




Okay, the icing job is a little sloppy but I don't exactly have the tools to paint perfect little jack o'lantern faces on cookies that won't be around long enough to be appreciated. All I can say is that they fucking taste amazing and I totally ate three of them while writing this post.
