This weekend, something I did for myself was bake cookies. I made cookies with toffee, chocolate chips, and pretzels inside. I made a large batch and rolled a lot of cookie dough balls to freeze so that I could have them to bake later whenever I want a cookie. I gifted some of them to… Continue reading Reading Journal 7 – Laura Zvinys
