Christmas cookies and other baked goodness
Last Friday’s “show us your life” theme was Christmas cookies and treats. I’m a little late in the game since I was running myself to death.
On Sunday, I was reading my Real Simple magazine (on the ride home from Charleston) when I found the recipe for sugar cookies. I was hosting my ceramics ladies Christmas dinner on Monday night and decided that my “gift” would be cookies! I made two batches of the recipe from the magazine (considering I’ve NEVER baked cookies from scratch, this was extremely easy!) The dough had to chill in the refrigerator for an hour and then I was ready to bake.
The outcome:
Oh and as a dessert for our party, I made a pie with my new piecrust cutters (the harvest ones!) It was a hit!!
I’m loving my recipes from Real Simple – and now I’m anxious to check out other blogs for Christmas cookie ideas. I’m ready to be more domestic in 2010!
Those look fabulous!!
That pie is amazing!
