I baked yesterday

I am not a baker. Never have been and apparently never will be. I can cook and make things look and taste yummy but baking is not for me unless it's from a box. Why would I try baking when I know I suck at it? Well, it's the holidays and my sister-in-law thought it would be a great idea to have a cookie exchange. I was all for it until I decided I didn't want to make the thin mint cookies that I have mastered. With school and work I don't have time to put all that work into them that they require.

Since I vetoed the yummy cookies I know how to make I asked for suggestions. I got some really good recipes and had to decide between them. Andrew ended up being the actual decision-maker in this since I'm not a fan of cookies anyway. He chose Pinwheels. They looked really pretty in the picture and didn't seem hard to make. Here is what they look like in the picture...






Pretty huh? Yea, I thought so too. And here's mine....










Ummm, yea....not so pretty. I think I need a new easier recipe for the exchange. maybe like buy some from the store and pretend I made them? LOL!
