rolled sugar cookies

These turned out really great! My friend and I made a much smaller batch than listed, 14 cookies. We also pretty much just checked to make sure I had all the ingredients and didn't read all of the steps, so it turned out that we had to let the dough chill overnight. But in my opinion one major thing about cooking and baking is being able to improvise a bit because I tend to make minor mistakes. We put it in the freezer for about half an hour which seemed to work well. We also made our own frosting using confectioners sugar and water and just stirring until it thickened. No food coloring, so it was just white frosting. These were so good, we both agreed that we thought it was like something we'd get at a bakery.

hot cocoa cookies

I made these with another friend! We pretty much managed to follow as is without any major mistakes until the end, when we had put the dough balls on the first pan and realized that we forgot to mix in the chocolate chips and decided to put extra mallow bits on top along with the ones mixed in. After that we mixed in dark chocolate chips and forgot to put the extra mallow bits on top, though they were still pretty marshmallowy. I tried one of each and surprisingly liked the ones without better. The ones with were slightly harder and the chips made it so that it was hard to taste the flavor of the actual cookie. The one without was really nice and soft and fluffy and had a really nice flavor. Definitely making these again WITHOUT chocolate chips.

I think I noticed the texture difference in mine the second time I made them because some only had the mallow bits. lol I might try without chocolate chips or with less, because I feel like it's a lot for the recipe.
