Well, this month has been a happy blur. Anytime we are all under the same roof is a happy time!
Despite their somber expressions in this photo, Gus and Clyde have also enjoyed having the kids home for the holidays.
We also filmed another episode of the cooking show. It was cookie-themed, but not necessarily Christmas-themed, because by the time it finishes airing it will be past the holiday season...and we didn't want to be pushing Christmas in January!
So we baked a bunch of cookies that were Christmas-festive, yet plain enough that they can be enjoyed year-round!

And before you begin to think that maybe I got the gift of mad photography skills for Christmas, I need to confess that the pretty photo above was taken by my daughter, Caitie.
Now that I've hooked you with a pretty photo, I'm going to pull the old bait & switch. Continue on for the usual lackluster photos.
Most definitely my go-to cookie recipe. Switch out the red & green sugar for ocean hues in the summer, add in some funfetti, or just bake 'em plain. Click on the above link for step-by-step instructions or use the printable.
My personal favorite! Sea salt & caramel is a match made in heaven, and I simply won't make these unless I can bring them somewhere...because if I keep them here I will eat every last one of them! Printable Recipe
Hope you are enjoying this final day of 2014.
Happy New Year!!
Great share Fran! I would be afraid to be alone with a plate of any of those cookies in the house. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHow did you get Gus and Clyde to sit like that! SO cute. :)
I would love all three of these Fran! And you better knock off dissing your photos. lol! They are not bad at all. The one your daughter took is just superb! I love caramel, sea salt, molasses cookies, and almond. Yum, Yum!
