31 days of cookies

You may have been a reader here 12 months ago, when I took part in the #write31days project, and wrote a series of posts about blogging.

Or maybe you followed along in May, when I blogged every day.

What you may not have realised, unless you're a long-time-reader, is that I don't often finish projects like that. So it's pretty exciting that I did actually finish them. The only other time I've finished big projects was back in 2011, when I finished Layout-A-Day, creating 28 scrapbook layouts in 28 days.

I'm back again this October, writing 31 posts. And for some reason that I'm not really sure of, I decided to share 31 cookie recipes [maybe because I've always hoped the American idea of Cookie Exchanges will one day take off in Australia.]

But I have to tell you, choosing to share 31 cookie recipes isn't as easy as it sounds - I forgot about the bit where I have to cook all those cookies! Fortunately, there's plenty of people around us available for taste testing, although I have yet to have a batch that lasts long enough to leave the house, everything has had the kid-seal-of-approval so far!

So what delights am I cooking up? There's shortbread and snickerdoodles and oatmeal cookies and slice & bake cookies and even sugar cookies. There's new recipes that I've invented, and tried and tested classics, and new twists on old favourites. And hopefully, you'll find a favourite or two to add to your Christmas cookie list.
