Cookies, cookies everywhere....
Dec. 4th, 2004 08:56 pmWell, I survived and even managed to enjoy a pretty good birthday for my son, a piano recital and a church Christmas party in the last two days - except I feel that every time I turn around I'm being asked to bring cookies, lol. I've given up on baking them this year, it's a Pre-Fab sort of holiday this time. Looking at the number of other store-bought packages on the tables, I'm not the only one. :-)
The piano recital went very well - being a proud mom and all that I thought *my* daughter was the shining star of the hour, of course. (It's my job!) Our dear, dear Onone has been such a godsend - the perfect teacher for Bluebell. She revived her interest in the piano and gave her the creative boost she needed to break out of the exercises and rote and start developing her own song-writing. Onone allowed her to play one of her own compositions on the stipulation that she start writing them down, and it sounded beautiful.
Oh, and we had to bring cookies.
Tomorrow I have to...you guessed it... bake cookies. Lots of them. Monday is the cookie exchange among the staff at the school, where we each bring at least 6 dozen cookies and swap them so we all leave with a big box of a wide assortment to give out, instead of all one kind. I don't even know what kind I'm making yet - I have a recipe that makes little butter cookies shaped like acorns and may do those. Last year I made English Toffee cookies and typed out the recipe in Old English just for the fun of it. Included things like having to pick all the vermin out of the flour. ;-) It's the one event I can't get away with store cookies.
What sort of cookies have any of you managed to bake so far?
