Well it's that time of year again! I love the holidays because of food, family, and the spirit of giving! Thanksgiving really kicks it off, you cook all day then eat and fall into a food coma and in my family your food coma energizes you for Black Friday shopping! We made a pretty good haul this year! We got a Cuisinart Keurig with the hot water button! James also got a RC helicopter to harass the dogs with but Sebastian has gotten pretty good at snatching it out of mid air! We also got a very good deal for a gift for my uncle I wont say what it is just in case he reads this. Then after Black Friday we start to haul out and put up all the Christmas decor as well as plan out our cookie baking strategy. We make a list check it twice and go grocery shopping. This year I shopped pretty smart I made a list of all the baking staples I.E flour, sugar, eggs, butter, brown sugar and went through every recipe and wrote under each one how much each recipe called for and other misc. stuff went at the bottom of the list and I have to say I bought enough to make all of my recipes without buying way to much, like I normally do. I only have like 3 must have items for cookie baking and that's parchment paper, wax paper and a 1" ice cream scoop. Parchment paper and wax paper and must have because it just makes your life and clean up 100% easier. An ice cream scoop because it helps you make uniform sized cookies, especially when most of your recipes call for your dough to be rolled into balls first, like most of mine did, the scoop helps a lot! I hope you try and enjoy a few or all of my Christmas cookies!!
Happy Baking!
