Leaping Leprechaun

Had some more fun with royal icing on shortbread to celebrate St, Patrick's Day.




When I got tired of playing I let the kids have the left over cookies and frosting to play with. They had a fun time with it and I think they did some nice cookies too.

Christmas Cookies

Aunt Dee brought over stuff to make Christmas cookies. We made ginger bread and two kinds of homemade Oreos. The kids had a great time cutting, decorating and filling the cookies.
Here is how they turned out:
They were delicious too.

Nothing Say Love Like a Chocolate Chip Cookie

The other day Sherman brought home chocolate chip cookies. One of which he gave to Annalyn. The look on her face says it all...
Thanks Dad!

The Stockings Were Hung...

...By the fireplace of course ...After much yelling, I made myself horse...
But it was all worth the fun for the smiles on their faces...
And seeing all the stockings put in there places...
Now cookies for Santa and then off to bed...
To listen for reindeer and bells on his sled.

Cookies with Gramie

It's that time of year again. Baking with Gramie time! This year Sheali jo and Nicholas made my favorite cookies, Almond Crescents. They did it all, from grounding the almonds to dusting the cookies with powdered sugar. These cookies where so good they mysteriously kept disappearing from the plate.(seemingly every time Pop pop went through the kitchen, coincidence...I think not) The ones that made it home with him didn't last much longer. They were gone before he made it all the way through the door. Yummy!


Ingredients
1 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup finely ground almonds
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar


Directions
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Combine flour, almonds and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle. Divide dough into fourths. Form crescent shapes, by rolling small balls of dough into a rope about 1/4 in. diameter and 2-in. in length. Place 2 in. apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 325 degrees F for 14-16 minutes or until set. Cool for 2 minutes. Dip and cover warm cookies in confectioners' sugar. Place on wire racks to cool.

Halloween Cookies

We got this Halloween cookie kit from Gramie. The boys bugged for about a week before we had time to do it.
As far as cookie kits go this one was great. The boys had a blast decorating and eating them.
The finished product, aren't they lovely... oh and scary says Nic.
Now if I can just get the seven Halloween costumes finished.
