So, in the previous cookie entry there were:



In this entry, there are several more:


Cut-out cookie recipe )


I also made another batch of Snickerdoodles so my family types would stop snarfing my cookie gifts!

This weekend, niece and nephew will get to cover the kitchen in icing and sprinkles for great decorating art! Hmmm - I think we need more food coloring. *makes a note*


At some point between now and Christmas, my friend's coming over to make Hermit Cake. If anyone wants that recipe, let me know. =) ETA: Hermit Cake recipe - just looking, it looks to be the same as the one my grandmother and mom have been making for years.

ETA: I got my 'Inner Child Secret Santa' goody box yesterday! (I mailed mine today! I promise! It should be there in 2 days or so!) My goody box had: A My Little Pony, 2 Matchbox cars, a PEZ dispenser and a holiday card! Very cool! Thank you, Secret Santa! =)


Also - my hockey countdown! XD

Nov. 30th, 2009 01:28 Cookie update - recipes pt1

I've mixed up batter for one batch of cookies and completely finished 2 others.

The batter I mixed up for baking tomorrow (it has to chill and set first) are the Sugarcrafter's chocolate crinkles. B/c what could be bad about chocolate cookies rolled in powdered sugar? XD

Next is the Snickerdoodles recipe that my mom's been making for years (though this recipe leaves out the measurements - you can get the recipe by inputting an e-mail - so I'll put those in later under the cut). It's from an old Pilsbury cookbook that bills itself as 'The New Pillsbury Family Cookbook'. And if you'd like to know how old it really is - it has a 'new' section on microwave cooking! *g*

And Alton Brown's Toasty Coconut Macaroons - one of my faves!

Tomorrow I'll bake the chocolate crinkles and maybe whip up the batter for sugar cookies. I'll probably wait until Tuesday to mix up the batter for the Spritz cookies so that I can bake those on Wed when I'll have plenty of time before I have to take my dog to the vet.

In other news - goddamned opossum! The fucker was in the trashcan and skittered out of it when I took my dog out just now and scared the fucking hell out of me. Damned thing.

Nov. 29th, 2009 22:39 This is the closest I have to a 'baking' icon -

I'm starting on my cookie baking for Christmas. I'm not sure when I'll get to the cut-out cookies - or if I'll even do those this year. I probably will, b/c the neice and nephew like to slap frosting and sprinkles on cookies. =)

I'll pull the complete list together once I'm done with everything. =)

Nov. 25th, 2009 21:07 Holiday things - I guess -

Made Red Velvet cupcakes again. Yes. The same ones from the last time. The Red Velvet cupcakes of awesome! Mom made a cheesecake. And much of dinner/lunch tomorrow is prep'd and ready.

I have to work, so we're eating around 1400 or so (which, since my time schedule is shifted, is still nearly breakfast for me, but that's okay. It also means I can pack some up to take for dinner at work too.

At some point I'll be making a cheeseball. And later - lots and lots of cookies.


I need to work on my Yuletide assignment. I've done a little, but I need to find some time to focus on it. Cool thing is - I think I have an idea. So, go me! XD


Stars currently are tied w/ the Blues at the end of the 1st/start of the 2nd.... let's see how that goes.


Also, I have mentioned that hockey game I'm going to, right? Dec 16th!





countdown clock thingy ->
