    Cookie Exchange 2011

    Tis the season for get togethers in all shapes and forms. Last weekend I had a relaxing, fun time with my Mom, Sister, Aunts and Cousins, Sister in Law and her Mom and Daughter too. What a nice time we had, it was our annual Christmas Cookie Exchange. We each made a 6 dozen cookies and other goodies to share, see my recent article at Social Moms on how to host a Cookie Exchange. My cousin made enchiladas while my Mom whipped up chips, delicious salsa, and the best guacamole.  We had conversation, yummy food and door prizes!  I won a really nice apron, I was so happy  – I…

    Melted Snowman Cookies

    I must say that Pinterest has inspired me to do many things I could never think of.  For instance, this time around, I came across these adorable Christmas cookies – Melted Snowmen, so cute!  It was posted on the Crazy Domestic blog, hers turned out really good!  She credits another blogger for the inspiration: “To see the originalMelted Snowman Cookie, and meet the inventor herself, go check out Meaghan (great name) @ The Decorated Cookie!”  Thank you Ladies!

    RETAKE – Lemon Spiral Cookies

    After making Lemon Swirl cookies, they didn’t quite turn out quite as swirly as I expected. So going thru the fridge the next day I remembered that I wrapped up some of the dough to bake later. I pulled it out, sliced it with a sharp knife and baked. I have to say these ones turned out way more swirly than the original batch. Not sure why… to me, it was worthy of a revisit. Thanks for looking!

    Yummy Peanut Butter Goodness

    Besides a good old fashioned chocolate chip cookie, nothing beats a classic peanut butter cookie, just like Mom used to make. You know what I am talking about it… perfect buttery tan color, criss-cross shapes pushed into the tops, rolled in sugar, yum right? This weekend my husband was wanting me to make these cookies. However, I did not have all the ingredients needed on hand, not wanting to run to the store, I grabbed my Better Homes and Garden Home Cookbook. Flipped through until I found the page, page 194. Interestingly enough pages 195-196 are missing, can’t wait to see what recipe it was, must have been a past…
