and made icebox cookies
per this recipe
i realize these say "coin cookies" in the title
but they were almost too small - like you could just eat the whole batch yourself small.
and that could have happened except that i froze 3/4 of my cookies.
if you want an easy cookie recipe to make ahead of time this is it - i also discovered that rolling the cookie logs on parchment paper make for a more even log
i also think the "using floss as a cookie cutter" trick would work better in this instance - instead of cookie coins i had cookie footballs.
a few more treats on my list for making this season include:
Oreo Cookie Bark
uhm. hello. white chocolate +oreos = easy and delicious. i'm also dreaming up a peanut butter chip+inside out oreo version. lookout world.
Ginger Cookies
one of my favorite cookies since it's light on the sweet and big on the taste - this version is a but chewier than a gingersnap -
and probably pairs great with:
Gingersnap Dip
i made this dip a few weeks ago for the bourbon party and it was delicious - except for the fact that i would buy smaller cookies/graham crackers for dipping - eating a few whole cookies is a bit much. but if i made the above cookie, or a traditional gingersnap cookie - i could shape them smaller in a stick shape - perfect for dipping.
lastly
this one's not for eating
but i really want the house to smell delicious
and i think bill would like to help me make some
cinnamon ornaments
i need to find some cheap dollar store cinnamon though. there's no way i'm using my expensive cinnamon for this.
i thought these would be cute hung in our tree and tied onto gifts this year - don't you think?
ok so who's up for happy hour and pre-gaming friday tonight? i need a break from year end.
