Cookies!

Well no not cookies, more shortbread biscuits. So today I made my first attempt at single-handedly making biscuits, on my own with no supervision. This shouldn't be a big deal at my age, but I truly suck at cooking. I learned the following the hard way during my great culinary adventure:

1. The table and the rolling pin need to be floured, because the dough sticks to them! Who'd have thought it?
2. You don't just slam the cookie cutter down onto the table, you push it in and twist it, or you get little jagged edges.
3. Making biscuits is messy.
4. You have to flour your hands if you're gonna stick them into the mixture, otherwise you are going to have to bake your hands.
5. Stick the sprinkles on as soon as the icing is on, otherwise the icing dries and the sprinkles fall off.

Well really, let's be honest, I cheated, using a pre-packed shortbread mixture, all I had to add was butter, but I totally made the icing and iced them myself and added the sprinkles and everything. Nobody's had the privilege of tasting them yet, and I have this nagging feeling they might taste yucky, especially as I always proclaim, the store that I bought the mix from sells nothing but below standard yucky food. I'm not allowed to name them since they post warnings to their employees about blogging about them. Penalty of death termination of contract.
