The February theme was Bake the Baking Pantry. This was a month where I used the special ingredients that I already had in the baking pantry. Things like different kinds of chips and even a wine syrup from a forgotten in the fridge bottle of wine from Christmas.
I have been judiciously buying ingredients for CTIAT for as long as I have spearheaded it. By that I mean that I strategically buy ingredients for the month’s theme.
Some of the themes were Inflation Baking and the Eggceptional theme, the last time egg prices were egregious. This let me expand my cookie offerings while still keeping the price reasonable.
But I always managed to buy some ingredient during the month, be it flour or sugar or eggs. I just wanted to keep on theme.
This month’s theme was going to be Baking the Freezer and I will keep to the theme. But I will add to the theme by doing a CTIAT No Buy month. If there is an ingredient in the freezer that requires me to buy an additional ingredient to make it work, I will keep the ingredient in the freezer.
By the way, the Bake the Baking Pantry did not even put a dent in my supplies so there will probably be an additional month of that.
Off to inventory the freezer.
…
Okay, I’m back. There are many vacuum sealed bags of peaches that I chucked in there after I got over-zealous and bought a bushel of peaches.
That will be the freezer ingredient today.
Peach cobbler style cookies.
I have baked them and I have to say they are some of the prettiest cookies that I’ve made.
See picture for details.
