It's not Christmas without cookies....so cookies we shall have.
So far we have coconut macaroons, oatmeal scotchies and chocolate shortbread. I made the macaroons last week, I'm surprised that they've lasted this long. (there's also been brownies and birthday cake in the house so that's probably why) I spied a bag of butterscotch chips at Walmart last week and they made me nostalgic for the oatmeal scotchies that my mother used to make. They came out pretty well, too. Well, two thirds of them came out perfect and the other third were a bit crisp. The chocolate shortbread was a new recipe from a cookbook that we received from Brian's brother, John and his wife, Patricia. (They also sent a cookie press....how did they know that I've always wanted one!!!) I also made dough for snickerdoodles but was overcome by fatigue and back pain to actually bake them. Rule #1 in baking: know your damn limitations! Rule #2 in baking (in my world, anyway) wear something more supportive than slippers, you crazy lady! Tonight's baking will be playing with the cookie press, in sneakers. :)
