When its like this outside.... bake cookies! the only problem with baking cookies is......
Then I just want to eat them all!

I used to make some other kinds too, but Ive narrowed it down to these five kinds over the years because these are our favorites.

I usually make fudge too.. but I think I'm going to pass on it this year..
Its a good thing most of my kids live near by and stop in a lot... someone has to help eat these babies! I did make up a tray to take to a family christmas party today.

However, the weather is supposed to get nasty, and I'm not sure I'm going. The rest of my family says they are.. I just get tooo nervous driving or riding in stormy weather.. (pisses my husband off.. oh well.. )

I have projects to work on anyways.. gifts that need to be finished.. bears that need to be worked on..
I would like to go to the party.. but I just dont know..
I do have my shopping and wrapping done and now my baking is done..
We have friends over for christmas eve, so I do still need to clean the house. I'll have some cooking to do, salads to make on tuesday night too. Unfortunetely I have to work christmas eve.. that kind of sucks, as It doesnt give me much time to prepare for company at 7:00 when I dont get home until 5:30! I'll just have to have most everything done on tuesday night and wednesday morning. Really theres not that much to do. jens a teacher so she will be off the next 2 weeks, so she'll come over and help.
well, just wanted to share these cookies with ya! I suppose I should go get showered and dressed and figure out what I'm doing today!
have a sweet sunday! only 4 more days til christmas! I hope you're all ready!

I agree, the cookies look so good, I almost want to bake, also. I agree with you totally on driving or even riding in the snow. It makes me a nervous wreck. It is sort of exciting, though. From one fraidy cat to another, I say, go to the party, you'll make a memory, if nothing else!

I got a new stand mixer for my birthday, and last night my daughter and I made two different kinds of chocolate chip cookies. I'd like to make some sugar cookies, but I'm afraid to have too many sweets around the house!

Oh how I wish those cookies were here at my house! On second thought maybe I don't. They would be too hard to stay out of. I remember a Christmas Eve several years back when I let my husband go out on a snowy night to pick up my grandparents to bring to a party. Two thousand dollars later (he slid into a retaining wall) my grandparents did make the party. I think your smart to think twice before driving. Let your good sense guide you! Merry Christmas!
