Baking

A/N: Hi guys. So I just realized how long it's actually been since I posted in this book. In fact, it's been pretty much since toward the beginning of the summer this year. My apologies for that. That's all.

After a long debate over what we should do for our night in, we finally managed to agree on baking something together.

When I get to his apartment, he has a flat pan, ingredients for cookies and mixing bowls out on his kitchen counter.
"I looked up a recipe. You don't have to be a psychic to know I'm not exactly a cook so I might be wrong."he says.
"That's adorable."
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"Nope."
"Guess we'll figure it out together."
I laugh and follow him into his kitchen. He grabs his phone off the counter next to his stove and pulls the recipe up on his screen.
"What kind are we making?"I ask, looking over his shoulder at the screen.
"Sugar cookies."
"Nice."
He sets his phone down and looks down at me. I reach up and pull his beanie off his head. He laughs and tries to get it back from me. I pull it on before he can. He pulls it down over my eyes. I smile. He pushes my chin up and kisses me a few times. I smile and fix the hat.
"Looks better on you."he says with a wink as he starts to measure out the ingredients for the cookies.
"Mhm."
2 1/2 cups (354g) all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure, I like to use unbleached)
1/2 tsp each baking soda and baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 Tbsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, set aside.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer cream together butter and sugar until well combined.
Mix in egg, egg yolk and vanilla.

Add in dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
Scoop dough out using a medium cookie scoop (or 1 1/2 Tbsp at a time, and roll into balls if not using a cookie scoop) and drop onto baking sheet, spacing them 2-inches apart.
Bake in preheated oven 9 – 11 minutes, they should appear slightly under-baked. If baking more than one batch at once rotate pans halfway through baking.
Cool on pan 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once we've put the cookies in the oven, he pulls me into his living room. He plops down on his couch and pulls me into his lap. I smile and drape my arms over his shoulders.
"Do you wanna watch TV or something?" I ask.
"Mm-mm."
"Oh?"
"Just sit with me for a minute."
"Kay."
I rest my forehead on his and rest my hands on his chest.
"You look pretty."he says.
"Thanks."
"Always."
He kisses me a few times and runs his fingers through my hair. I close my eyes and tuck my head in his neck. He wraps his arms around me and rests his chin on my shoulder.
"Fifteen minutes." I remind him.
"I know. I just want to hold you for a bit."
"Cute."
"Not really."
"Saying you just want to cuddle me is fucking adorable, Will."
"Sweetheart you're nuts."
I laugh and look at him again. He looks up at me and kisses me a few times. He starts to kiss me again and slips his hands into my hair. I slip one hand into his hair. Before we get to do much else, the oven goes off. He runs his fingers through his hair.
"You want me to get that?" I ask him.
"Y-yeah."
"Okay."
I get up and go take the cookies out of the oven. I hear him sigh heavily.
"What's wrong?" I ask, glancing over my shoulder at him.
"Sweetheart, I'm not sure you want that answer."
"Why?"
"Because I don't even want to know what my answer is."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Well, these are done if it helps."
"You're cute."
I walk back over to him. He looks up at me.
"What's going on?" I ask, getting back into his lap.
"That kiss was so damn heated and I didn't want to stop."
"Ah."
"I know that's not what we were in here for."
"You're cute."
"Sure."
"Do me a favor."
"Okay."
"Calm down. You're worked up about nothing. Okay?"
He nods and kisses me a few times. I run one hand through his hair.
"Beautiful."he mumbles.
"Mhm."
He puts a show on the TV and we snack on the cookies we baked while we cuddle and watch tv for the rest of the night.
