12.22.2007 :: Snow and cookies
Lots of snow. Lots of cookies. It's Christmas, after all.
molasses crinkles. I ate not one of them but they are gone so they must have been edible.
Peanut Butter kiss cookies. See recipe at end.
shortbread jam thumbprint cookies, recipe by Ina Garten.
Snow
Hollywood style snowflakes:
and more:
and a pair of fetching handwarmers:
Gifted and well received. Malabrigo makes a wonderful gift, don't you agree?
Wanna play?
Tell me what you think of me. Finally, at long last. Go to my Johari window

I was just about comatose by the end of the week but I am now on a week long vacation from work and my energy level has increased considerably. That says something but I'm not energetic enough to figure it all out yet.

2 more shopping days.
2 more wrapping days.
Oy.

THE best peanut butter kiss cookie you will ever eat. Or your money back:
18 ounces creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
48 chocolate kisses
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix all ingredients by hand
Roll 1 level tablespoon into a ball
Bake 12 -14 minutes until dry and cracked looking
Take cookies out of oven and press kiss into center.
Get yourself a huge glass of milk and enjoy them in Bethany's favorite way: While the kiss is still melty.

What!? No flour? I love pb though, add some sugar and butter then chocolate? Appeals to the PMS in me!

My arthritic hands are aching for a pair of Fetching mitts like those. Why had I not thought about Malabrigo for that pattern before? What colorway is that btw? Great photos!

No flour cookies?! Think I'll have to try those. Love the snowflakes and the mitts. Good luck with the shopping and the wrapping and keeping the squirrels out of your cookies! ♥

Lovely photos of snowflakes! I wish my camera could get that close. :)

Wow, that sounds even easy enough for me. Is there really no flour at all?

Love the mitts and the snowflakes sitting on top. If only I could drop by for a cookie (or two) and some hot chocolate then life would be perfect!

Thumbprint cookies - yum! :o)
Love the snowflakes on the mitts!
It was hard to only choose six things...but I managed.
Happy Christmas!
