Kitchen Time.

I'll admit it, I am a food blog thief. But nothing on here will be said without due note. I use Stumble Upon to find my wonderful bloggers. It often tells me that I have gone through all of the baking blogs listed on the site, it lies. I've done a few things lately, only misplacing the original creator once, so it will not be displayed. But what I did make, oh yum.

The first was homemade Strawberry Pop-Tarts, from Franish Nonspeaker. The only problem that I encountered was the unexpected amount of time it took me. But then again, I started at nine o'clock at night. The results:
 So the preserves leaked out and got a little burnt, the dog like the bits that I took off and they tasted absolutely wonderful. The icing was too thin, but was still tasted.

And then I made these absolutely fantastic Brown Sugar Cookies with Maple Icing from Brooke McLay. OMGod, these were so amazing. They were loved by my entire family and came out perfectly. You won't see the terrible icing job I did on the first batch, because I ate them before anyone saw. 
I followed the recipe for the icing to a tee and it was so difficult to work with. I used an extra half tablespoon of milk and it came out like this, but not the glaze0like icing in Brooke McLay's picture. No matter, my family loved them. I even made one for my little sister that resembled a fudge round, it had so much icing on it.
