What to do when you’re in the middle of your craziest week yet? Bake cookies and try out your new cookie press!
I opted for very seasonal cute little pumpkins with orange sprinkles and simply veganized a recipe found in the The Joy of Cooking. And my first trip into cookie press territory was a success although I did admittedly have trouble at first but once I figured it all out, it was pretty simple and fun! A nice break from the studying I’ve been drowning in lately.
