Who am I?

I love to cook. I LOVE to bake! I work too much! Coffee should be supplied in IV form for me most days. I love television too much, and movies are my weakness if I ever had time to go, and a good book is always my favorite thing in the world.

Soooo... I'm baking.

     Butter Pecan Cookies with Vanilla glaze
Okay so I love to bake. I am always searching Pinterest for new ideas. Well awhile ago I saw an idea for cake batter cookies. Where you take cake mix and create pretty much the most amazing cookies you've ever tasted.
Success number one was a few days ago. I made Strawberry cookies with bubblegum icing. They were like a state fair in your mouth. The next day, I made devils food cookies with chocolate chunks, another winner!
Today I decided to make Butter Pecan Cookies with Vanilla Bean glaze.




 Ingredients for Cookies:
  • Butter Pecan cake mix
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs 
  • 2 cap fulls of imitation vanilla bean  





 When I mixed it all up it was oddly sticky. So I checked the wonderful world of the internet and it suggested to  refrigerate the dough. Worked like a charm!!
 Sorry the picture is so bad. I'm not the best photographer, I just like to bake.

ANYWAYS, I baked the cookies at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
 Now its time to make the glaze! I just used powdered sugar, whipping cream and some more vanilla bean flavoring. Its really up to taste. I have a lot of this made because use it for cookies all the time. The amount is up to you, mix and taste, mix and taste. YUM, best part of the job!
 This is the yummy yummy product. Fluffy butter pecan goodness!
 How do you like my Sugar and Coffee containers?? Sorry I couldn't resist but show them off. I got them at an antique store.
Then I drizzled the glaze over the cookies and let it harden on top. It was amazing and beautiful and so yummy! My 4 year old Rory agrees on that. She said,  "Oh thank you mommy, these are delicious!"

Well anyways, I hope you have enjoyed my butter pecan vanilla bean cookies!
