I am beginning my traditional Christmastime routine of thinking about, planning on, swearing I will make cookies this year for sure. But I am also starting wonder if I will manage it. Not much time left! Last year I managed to mix up the dough -- I think I got them baked for New Year's.
My usual cookies, when I manage them, are: Molasses Crinkles Norwegian butter cookies of various types (family tradition) Scotch shortbread (family tradition) Cut out cookies with frosting We shall see what gets done. I guess I'd better get started... tomorrow.
Picking the vermin out of the flour... ah yes! I remember that. Had to do that in Pakistan; sifting was essential with a very fine seive, or there would be things visible afterwards. Cooked, but visible. ;-) That's what frosting is good for, hehe!
