So, I don't necessarily help that much when it comes to making the cookies. I'm terrible with cooking/baking. One of the first questions my friend Chrissy asked me when we made cookies the other day was if I had read the whole recipe. Skimming/not really reading recipes is one of my bigger kitchen errors. And she was right, I had not read the recipe. But, I'm always there to stir things or add things to a bowl, but what I'm really best at is making drinks and then proceeding to drink them while others bake. I'm also pretty good at poorly decorating a few cookies and then proceeding to just dip the cookies in the bowls of frosting and eat them :)
Let's start out with my favorite part: the drinks! We make different drinks every year, but they are always some kind of nod to the holiday season. The drinks below are cranberry Mojitos, which were delicious. I love Mojitos so I really liked these guys.
We had to do something with the cranberries on the stove (I'm not going to lie, I'm not sure what. Chrissy did that part). But I strained them! Look!
Unlike the picture above, where I look calm and collected, this is how I actually feel when baking and stuff.
We used a recipe (do you still call it a recipe with drinks?) that I found here.
And for the cookies, we used a recipe that my mom has. I would post it here, but I'm not going to lie, I have no idea where it is. And I have no clue where my mom keeps recipes and such. So I just suggest you google sugar cookies and work from there. I also suggest having a friend who can bake (see picture below).
I'd like to say the plate on the top right is mine, or the one on the bottom, but I think most people would know I was lying. The top right is Chritine's and the bottom is my sister's. Mine is the one on the top left (yeah, the one that looks like a child decorated the cookies), but IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS PEOPLE.
So, if any of you are getting together to watch the show tonight (or just having a girls night or movie night or whatever), I highly suggest a cookie and cocktails night.
Happy Victoria's Secret Fashion Show day ya filthy animals.
