*1242 - swirls

D gave me the best Christmas present ever, it's going to be a tough one to beat.

My very own Kitchenaid :) :) :)

I've been baking an obnoxious amount of breads and sweets as a result but to D it's probably a win-win because he gets to enjoy the finished product too.

Themed baking last weekend: the swirl.

Cinnamon currant swirl wheat bread.



And blueberry/cranberry/lemon swirl cookies.




The trick to baking cookies for two is to freeze half of the raw cookie dough so you can have homemade, fresh baked cookies whenever you want.  Much better than baking a ton, having them go stale, and getting all jelat from trying to finish up so many of the same flavor.  Rationing them out is probably better for you too.
