It's always time for cookies

I'm off home for Christmas a couple of days before Fiona, and wanted to bake something to sustain her! I'm just baking a double batch of my usual cookie recipe, except for having discovered that we don't appear to have any almond extract, so I've substituted vanilla extract. It's been so long since I baked these cookies, I'd forgotten how good they smell in the oven!

Woo! Baking again!

This term has been pretty manic, so I've not really had a chance to bake. But term's over now, so I finally have a chance. By very popular demand (by which I mean that Fiona was very insistent!), it's a reprise of my cinnamon rolls - with only the minor change that I've substituted out the gin for apple juice. The glaze came out really appley, which was a bit of a surprise, but I think it works really well. And the cinnamon rolls themselves? Every bit as good as we remembered!

Apologies for the potato-quality photos. I couldn't be bothered to get my SLR from upstairs, and the Nexus 4's camera wasn't exactly great when it was brand new...
