Fresh Homemade Cookies

Baking cookies has always been one of my favorite pastimes. To this day I still watch my mother bake batches upon batches of cookies to send to relatives during Christmas time. Last night I decided it was about time I whipped up a batch of something. I decided to make the Orange Creamsicle Cookies I told you my friend Victoria brought to class during the school year. They're light, sweet and absolutely delicious; perfect for summer. When I finished making them I realized I had nothing to put them in, not even tupperware. So I went on a search for a cute cookie jar I can display at home when I bake fresh homemade cookies and I found this perfect one from Crate and Barrel. Just what I was looking for!

A Special Treat

Yesterday morning I flew home after spending a week and a half in Myrtle Beach visiting my boyfriend. I had so much fun but coming home, back to reality, was depressing. When I got home I went straight to school and my friend Victoria had a special treat waiting for me. A nice little pick me up. She brought me these amazing homemade Orange Creamsicle Cookies. They have a light summery taste with the perfect amount of white chocolate chips and orange zest. Honestly, so delish! She posted the recipe on her blog last month here. You must try them! (P.S. Thanks Vicky!)
