Time for a treat!


This week I decided it was time for a hobby that would really help me enjoy life. After deciding this, the first thing that came to mind was cookies. After looking online at various hobbies I found that cooking is a hobby and so I decided cooking cookies would also fit. Then came the hard part, deciding which cookie I wanted to make. After looking over various recipes I found a recipe for homemade Oreo cookies. These sounded delicious, and I also had all of the ingredients necessary to make them. I found the recipe below on cooks.com:

Homemade Oreo Cookies
1 devil's food cake mix
1/2 c. shortening
2 eggs
Mix the above ingredients together. Roll the dough into dime-sized balls and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Cool cookies.

Frosting
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 square butter
2 tsp. vanilla
2 to 4 c. powdered sugar
Mix all of frosting ingredients until smooth. Frost BACKS of cookies and place together to make sandwich cookie.

After just a short time the cookies were out of the oven, the frosting was ready, and I was excited to give them a try. I then took the cookies and smeared frosting on the inside and put them together like a sandwich. Once I was done I relaxed, enjoyed quite a few cookies, and thought of how this is a hobby that I can really enjoy regardless of how the weather may be.
