Baking!

Baking is such fun! Thanksgiving was an opportunity to make Amish Dinner Rolls from the King Arthur Flour website.  Today I made Light Spice Holiday Cookies (also from King Arthur Flour recipes) and hunted down the Christmas cookie cutters…and a few other shapes 🙂

In a recent conversation with my niece I shared some ideas for gifts for my great-nephews. She mentioned that the youngest is all about plush toys and that their oldest is really drawn to “spooky” stuff these days. The cookie cutter choices reflect this- as does the free form football for another great-nephew: a New England Patriots fan. (Have I mentioned how hard it is to live so far apart?!) I am not sure what cookie shapes my little great-niece prefers so I dedicate all the fancy trees, mittens and bears to her ♥♥.
