So for the last few years, my family has had a Cooke Fest before Christmas to make cookies. We get to my mom's house and start baking early in the morning and continue to bake and talk throughout the day. It is really fun and I look forward to it every year!
This year was a blast - we made Brian's favorite cookie (which I had never made before and even had to call Sharon to make sure I understood the recipe), peanut butter blossoms (my favorites), Swiss Treats, Pizzelles, Rolo Delights, Date Balls, and Caramels. Like I said, it was a blast and I am already looking forward to next year!
It was kinda sad though because my sister Angie couldn't make it until after 5 and Brian wasn't there because he was hunting. We still had fun with out them, and Maria even felt so bad she burned her finger on hot caramel in remembrance of when Ang burned herself (though she was talking on the phone while making bacon).
When it was time to go home, the rain we had in the morning had frozen my doors shut and driving back to Brian was slow and a little scary as the ice was now covered in a little snow. Oh well, I made it safe and sound AND we are still enjoying the goodness that is homemade Christmas cookies!
That sounds like so much fun!!! I wish I could get the girls in my family to do something like this. After all this talk about cookies now I want one!! haha
