Even though I went and got all crazy with those Bacon-Apple Cider biscuits just the other day, I think it’s fair to say that on a normal day I’m not the biggest fan of baking…
I know. I know. But it’s true.

Too many measurements and too little room to fudge the recipe for this girl (what do you mean I can’t add a “lil’ more of this and that” to the cookie recipe?)… both being things that just don’t work for me in a kitchen setting haha.
So sometimes (most of the time?) taking a store-bought short cut is the way things go around here.
Take these for instance, which were on a nice 2 for $4.00 sale at the local Whole Foods:

Vanilla Sugar Organic Cookie Dough from the Immaculate Baking Co.
Hey, like you could resist THAT offer either?!
But instead of just leaving them alone, I thought that hey, there’s just no reason that a store-bought short cut treat can’t get fancied-up with a little something extra now is there?!
Like, say, ohhhh a bath in some melted chocolate perhaps…
Don’t mind if I do.
I baked the cookies per the directions and let them cool.
Then simply melted a few hershey kisses with a touch of canola oil (to keep the chocolate smooth) right in the microwave and gave these cookies a good dunk, placing them on parchment and into the fridge for a few to cool.
Now how much more exciting is that than just your normal every day sugar cookie?!
Pretty easy and definitely fun! And they just look so darn pretty too
Do tell, do you have any other good short cut baking tricks for non-bakers like me?!
