Brunch Crunch
Breakfast cookies? Well, technically we were invited to brunch so all bets were off (um. You already know I am “off”). The traditional egg and bacon breakfast first came to mind (some clever cookie-rs have gone down that route). But fate stepped in; the movie we were watching contained a song from the early 80’s. Okay, Elton John and Kiki Dee sang theirs in the mid 70s but its close enough. Hope you will forgive me…
That’s How We Roll
Not one but two friends asked for holiday themed bowling cookies. Made some of the cookies where the pins and balls share the sugar and some where they were “SPLIT“(you may talk in in strikes and spares but I totally relate to the previous reference).
Ugly Sweater cookies
Um. Such a party! One person had an Ipad playing either a roaring fireplace or Happy Feet built into his sweater. Another had “Madonna cones,” appropriately placed. There were flashing lights, fur, and balls hung with care (ornaments, I mean). And, of course, cookies.
Holiday Humor Take Two
Quirky continues. Enough said.
Peppermint Patties
Move over, York. These peppermint Patties are made with chocolate shortbread (thank you for sharing the recipe Lila Loa) and standard buttercream icing flavored with peppermint extract. Crushed a couple of peppermint candies to decorate the borders and voila. Very Minteresting!
The Holly and the Ivy
Both fully grown and taking the crown version. 15 cookies presented in a 6″x6″ gift box.
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
The periodic table has enjoyed a rejuvenated coolness ever since Breaking Bad. Personally, I always thought there were loads of interesting stories associated with the elements (ie: Copper and clean air/water systems and the 1976 outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease OR Iodine and Mahatma Gandhi and the British salt tax. Apparently the British have an inspirational way with taxes and revolutions.). So I’m “breaking” out the elements again- this time to celebrate that jolly, old elf. How does he know if we’ve been bad or good? NSA?
Old Fashioned Christmas Cookies
My Mom would be happy- cookies made using her vintage cutters from the 1950’s. I grew up with these shapes, this type of glaze, accompanied with jimmies and colored sugars. It’s like going home.
Then there is the reason for the season. Some straw in the manager and a very bright star.
Thanksgiving 2013
My warmest wishes that you are surrounded by happiness…whether that relates to family, friends, football, or a comfy horizontal surface after dinner.
