Easing Back into Baking

January and February in the Pacific Northwest are sluggish at best. The cold, windy, rainy start to the year grants a license to hibernate. While I typically find it difficult to “do nothing,” this year I’ve done a pretty good job of doing just that. I keep looking at the stack of cookbooks begging for my attention. But mostly I’ve been sauntering by that stack to the couch where I’ve been instead making my way through the Oscar-nominated movies and binging Great British Bake Off (GBBO) episodes. Luckily, those GBBO episodes motivated me to pick up my new copy of Small Batch Bakes from Edd Kimber and make three cookie recipes: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies, the Emergency Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Lime Coconut Macaroons.
