Velkommen!

Welcome to Food and Stuff, a blog that is documenting my senior year of college through the food I make! This should be a jolly good time and I'm happy you're here to share it with me! I may even have random Food Funnies every so often, which you won't want to miss! So put that apron on and gather your bowls, this is going to be fun!

Orange and Purple Cookies?!

Last Night's Adventure!
YES! I love to use food coloring! Even though it's kinda gross when you think about it, food coloring is so fun to use in cookies and cakes! In my high school baking class, I made an electric pink and purple swirled cake, no joke, it was awesome! So last night, after a day of attempting to juice cleanse (which did not really work out...) I used the last of my orange sugar cookie dough for some delicious halloween cookies! And tonight, while taking a break from making a presentation, I decided to make some purple cookies :)

On top of everything we ran out of flour, boo. So I used up the rest of our whole wheat flour, we'll see if they still taste good....

I used a super basic recipe today:





Dough... Let's hope it tastes good...



I switched out flour for whole wheat flour, and added some purple food coloring to the dough... YAY!

Just mix the wet ingredients and then add the dry and you're good to go! I used mine as drop cookies, and rolled them in sugar, for that extra delicious-ness.

Oh and if you were wondering, 3OH!3 was the soundtrack today... My gym playlist is all 3OH!3 for whatever reason, so I continued on listening to them when I got home! I'm not sure why I even like them, but I do! I went with some friends a few years ago and we saw them in concert, so sick!!

Anyway... The verdict!!

Frankenstein Cookies?
Well defiantly not my best baking, but not bad either! For working with what I had they are just dandy, but I could imagine using regular flour and no coloring would have been a tad bit better... But I like the "personality" they have! HA! Maybe it's just because I made them, I really must like them! Anyway, don't be afraid to experiment every once and a while, and use up whatever supplies you have! I'm almost sure anyone can make something right now with just the contents of your cupboard and refrigerator! Happy Baking!
