TWD - Cottage Cheese Pufflets

Oh how I love technology...I had my TWD post all written out yesterday, hit submit, & went on with my business. Well guess what? The little booger didn't post, so here I am! I'm not on my home computer at the moment so pictures will have to be added later.

For this week's TWD, Jacque of Daisy Lane Cakes chose Cottage Cheese Pufflets. Now I'll admit that I love cottage cheese, but the thought of making cookies out of it kind of grossed me out. In the spirit of trying new things I decided to give these a shot. And boy I'm glad I did! I took advice from other TWDers & made sure I drained the cottage cheese before using it & used a Ziploc bag to roll & store the dough. It's a very sticky dough, but I didn't have any problems with it by using these two methods.

For the filling I used some homemade strawberry preserves, & they were just delicious. Who would have thought that cottage cheese would make a good cookie?! Not this girl! I'm definitely glad I gave them a shot!

Head over to Jacque's blog for the recipe & the TWD blogroll for everyone else's creations!

Life

My oh my how lovely life can be! My dear friends it has been yet another crazy couple of months. A few weeks ago I bought my very first home & have been in the process of getting everything unpacked & settled. It's so amazing to be able to own a home. The best part of the whole thing? I have a huge kitchen! I can already see all of the deliciousness that's going to come out of that kitchen. I'm sorry for my absense...I hope I'll be able to get back into the swing of things very soon.

Much love!
