Yes, my friends, I have been baking! It was Mama's idea; she got the house all beautifully decorated for Christmas, and we knew something was missing. Christmas cookies just add that special touch. So we got to work! Yesterday we baked and baked and baked and baked! I'm really pleased with the results.
Snowballs
Snowball coookies are some of my favorites. Mama likes them because they aren't too sweet, and I agree with her. The powdered sugar plus the pecans is light but delicious!
Craisin Oatmeal
Ok, so I make these oatmeal cookies all the time. They are really special to me, but the recipe I got from the top of a container of Quaker Old Fashioned Oatmeal! They are so good and addicting (plus, you don't feel bad about grabbing one for breakfast because after all, there's oatmeal in it!). To mix things up and make them more festive, Mama recommended I used craisins. I rarely use raisins in them (I don't really like raisins), but craisins sounded interesting, and I think they turned out really well!
Chocolate Fudge Cookies
(In my mind, Karen's cookies)
These cookies are basically all chocolate. I'd never made them before, so Mama had to help me. They took the longest, but they turned out good. Verry sweet. Very chocolatey. There are three kidns of chocolate in these cookies. Karen, you could die. Seriously. I'd ship them to you in Pennsylvania, but they wouldn't be fresh. Daddy and Grayson really like them (which is NOT a surprise), so that is all that matters!
Well, its been a fun day and a half baking cookies with Mama. Now we have to set about to the most difficult taks ever - eating them! I'm sure that will be hard to do! :)
