The One Where I Bake ... BEFORE WORK!



As I've mentioned before, my nickname is Betty Crocker due to my limited culinary abilities. I try to set a goal to attempt two new culinary adventures each month. Sometimes they delve more on the baking side, like this one. 

I saw these breakfast cookies on Pinterest and they seemed super easy, so I figured that I would try them. Did I want to wait and try them when I had lots of time? NO! I came home from working our volleyball game on Thursday night and started the process. 


Mix a block of cream cheese, 1/4c of sugar and 2tsp of vanilla together in a bowl. Easy enough, right? Even I can handle that! The recipe said to use a hand mixer, but since kiddo was sleeping and we have a small apartment, I opted to just use a spoon. I prefer mixing my hand anyway. 

Does that make me weird?


Roll out seamless crescent dough. The hardest part of this? Finding seamless crescent dough! It took multiple stores on my end, and then my parents found it on the first try. (Because my mom is awesome like that.) 


Spread the cream cheese mixture on the dough, and dump 1/2c of mini chocolate chips on top. If you're me, then you take the chocolate chips you already have, and just dump to your heart's content. 

Roll up and refrigerate over night. 

ZZZZZZ....


Friday morning, I woke up to this lovely little dough filled roll of goodness. As you can see by this picture, I have rolling issues. Cut this bad boy into slices and then place on a baking sheet. 


I also have slicing issues, as you can tell from the picture above. 

Pop in the oven at 350 for 12 minutes and VOILA!

 

You get these bad boys! They were a lot prettier in the picture on Pinterest, but they taste better than they look. (I swear!) It was like a super simple danish that I feel I'm going to be making for family occasions very soon.
