I love mixes and have no guilt using them and taking all the credit. I did bake it, even if I did skip a few measuring steps, so there. These look fabulous!!!

Hi Laura, Those look fantastic. I often feel the same guilt (sometimes) I do feel better when i make from scratch it is just something about the recipe that makes you want to shine...Lol. I do use box sometimes mostly if i need something quick. Great blog!

I to have such a hard time taking credit if I didn't make it all from scratch! Like...doctoring it up isn't enough to call it your own. But hey...if it's good, it's good. and thumbprints look great!

Those look great! And I especially loved your editorial about wanting to get back to the way things were made before the mixes.

Although sometimes you just don't have time to do it from scratch, there's a pride and sense of accomplishment that comes from starting with flour and sugar. Please check me out sometime at www.bakingwithoutabox.com as that's exactly what I'm trying to do.

I will definitely be back! These look fantastic and your photography is superb.

Sometimes, it's a blessing to have a mix to help us out! These look fantastic--mix or no mix! They're beautiful!

I never do mixes, but these really are great... a little of each is a very smart idea!

2010-02-04T04:55:12.442-08:00

I know how you feel. I've always felt the same way regarding the mixes. We should have a new take on it....as long as we're the only ones that know it was a mix, then its still homemade. After all, it was made in the home, and that's the real definition of homemade. LOL! Right?
Mix or no mix, these cookies look divine and you should totally be proud of them!

2010-02-04T03:47:43.533-08:00

I often feel that guilt! Especially when using ready made curry pastes - mum would turn up her nose (she made them from scratch)

But, like these cookies, I ease the guilt by adding lots of other bits and the end result is a happy compromise. These cookies look like they'd make lots of folks happy, so here's to cheating :)

2010-02-03T18:55:57.636-08:00

These are the most delicious looking cookies! I don't mind that you used a mix - there's a recipe in there too. But I often feel the same way. Cute story about Laura.

I'm so happy that you all liked the pasta! I am shocked over the response I've gotten from it. I really didn't think anyone would be interested in it. It's turning out to be one of my most popular recipes. Thanks for trying it!

There's nothing wrong with taking a short cut now and then. And these cookies looks soooo good. Love the caramel and chocolate.

2010-02-03T16:38:25.036-08:00

i have the same guilt! I'll be stressing out about what to cook for dinner and my husband will say, "Just open a can of soup." I just can't do it.

As long as they taste good, then nothing else matters :D. I could go for some of those with a frappuchino right now.

Laura,
Excellent. I was talking with friend Amy (Gourmet Editor) just Sunday night. Same guilt. The only box thing we ever had growing up was Angel Food Cake. My mother claimed it was better than what you could make from scratch. I'll try to get over the guilt with these beauties. Thanks.
