Baking and drinking way too much wine while doing so.

What is something quick and delicious a noob baker can bake? I’d love to bake muffins or cookies but don’t know where to start

Can’t go wrong with chocolate chip cookies! Go to the store, grab a bag of Nestle chocolate chips. On the back of the bag is recipe for Toll House cookies. Buy ingredients, follow instructions and enjoy!

Replace half the butter with coconut oil And half the flour with almond meal.

I don't know what the coconut oil does, but I feel less gross using less butter...

That's my secret, and they're well received.

Look up a recipe. Follow the instructions. Or you tube it. Give it a whirl!

How about thumbprint cookies (shortbread cookie with jam in the middle)? They are seasonal and simple - short ingredients list. You don’t need to roll them in nuts.

Cookies (except some fancy ones like biscotti or Russian tea cakes) and cakes are some of the easiest things to make. Get a recipe off the interwebs. Ginger snaps are seasonal, but require some less common ingredients that you may not have on hand, so I'd recommend something like a chocolate chip shortbread instead. Shortbread is still seasonally appropriate and is just butter, sugar, and flour.

Raspberry thumb print cookies are easy but look and taste like much more work went into them

Cookies or brownies are generally pretty quick to make and have simple recipes.

Box of Betty Crocker cookies, muffins, or cake, and then decorate how you want. Practice reading a recipe, making sure it's cooked all the way through, and not burning it. Once you're confident, bake something from scratch.
