Finding comfort in cookies

Thankyou all for your wonderful brownie suggestions! I will be sure to give some of them a try when I make my next batch!

Training: Swim

Today's warm Spring temperatures made for perfect swimming weather, and I headed to the pool after work to swim some laps. I covered 1.5km in around 45 minutes, showered, then headed home. Unfortunately my heart was not really in today's training session, probably due to some sad news I received this afternoon. I was actually pretty tempted to skip my workout all together, but I knew that a session in the pool would be exactly what I needed mentally.

As was a glass of wine.

And a cookie.

Mr BBB's mum had dinner under control this evening, so I decided to do a little comfort baking while we waited. For what better way than to cheer up the soul than with a batch of freshly made cookies. Especially when there is peanut butter and maple syrup involved.

And thus these comfort cookies with maple glaze were born.

Aside from exercise, there is nothing more soothing  for me  than an evening spent in the kitchen.

Stirring, creaming…

 

And generally making a mess.

Sometimes a gal just needs some good ol’ fashioned sugar…

In  cookie form ….

Of course..

 

What about you? What do you cook when you are in need of comfort?

Happy Baking :)
