12-19-09


Today was the big day. Cookie Baking Day!

One phone call to Grama for help.
Two sisters sharing a kitchen, an oven, and a spatula.
Three bags of coconut used. And tons of chocolate chips and butter.
Four cousins getting along all day.
Five trips to the grocery store for needed supplies (thanks Bruce!).

Sixteen different types of cookies made:
Luscious Lemon Drops
Grama's Fruitcake Cookies
Funfetti Cremes
Scotcharoos (AKA Fancy Rice Krispie Treats)
Macadamian Macaroons
Magic Cookie Bars (twice, experiencing difficulties)
Plain Ole' Chocolate Chip (for the dishwasher and grocery runner)
Dorothy Peanut Butter Balls (need more training before attempting these again!)
Snickerdoodles
Turtles (sticky gooey yum)
Peppermint Bark (double batch)
Peanut Butter Kisses (thanks to Anastasia and Eva)
Peanut Chewies
Pretzel Hugs (lifted from a scrapbook layout in a magazine!)
Margie's Frosted Cashew Cookies (no idea who Margie is, gotta love internet recipes)
Cashew Snaps

Long day, ready to sit a spell. But also a step closer to being ready for Christmas...

Have you recovered yet from all that baking? It sounds like you had some incredible yummies around your house! Lots of work, but I'm sure your effort was appreciated by everyone who got to try your goodies. :)
