Cookies yet again

I made some eggnog cookies this weekend. They are from the "Butterscotch Eggnog Stars" recipe but since they have neither butterscotch nor star-shapes I renamed them. I tried to get the link but apparently you need a code to get to that part of the site. I would bet there are a lot of eggnog cookie recipes on line, though!

The goat, horse and dove cookie cutters came from a local thrift store years ago. I want to set them apart from my sugar cookies so I plan to ice them rather than using colored sugar. I think they'll look cute, but right now they're in the freezer.

I hope to get several more kinds of cookies done this week. I was going to make toffee yesterday but my daughter still has my 9x13 pan. It had lasagna in it, a gift for my future s-i-l. I have to call her so she can bring it by before work today. She goes in at 1. At least I already have my ingredients mixed and ready to go!

Christmas is less than 2 weeks away...aaaggh!

  2. It's hard to believe that Christmas is less than two weeks away -- and those days will go fast.

    I love the little toy grocery bag idea from your previous post. That will make a little very happy!

  3. Eggnog cookies sound great! I may have to do a search for a recipe.

  4. You have been so busy this Christmas season! I haven't made any cookies, but my hubby made some from the slice and bake rolls! Maybe I'll get some done before Christmas. I usually make roasted pecans, but the trees haven't produced much this year. Must have been a late frost last spring that killed the blossoms.
