Here are the cookies that I made this week:
The Quintessential Sugar Cookie
We have the snowflakes, the Joys and the Christmas trees (or "Holiday Trees", if you want to be PC).
Very simply dusted with sugar.
The Snickerdoodle
Maybe I made it wrong, but it doesn't really taste like much, although there are hints of sugar and cinnamon (which the balls of dough are rolled in just prior to baking). It's probably easy to eat a lot of these since they have a very light texture and are not overly sweet.
The Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie with Mocha Cream Filling
This is the one that I have been wanting to make for a couple weeks, but I only went and got all of the ingredients today. It's a cocoa-espresso cookie with bittersweet chocolate chips, sandwiching a cream filling made with bittersweet chocolate, espresso and whipping cream. (Yes, I know, sounds extremely healthy...)
=)
May your holidays be safe and fun (and relaxing), and spent with loved ones!
I hope it snows at least a little bit for Christmas....it's really dark at night (ie. after 4pm) without the presence of snow to reflect lights.

Wow, you can bake! I've tried. Nothing tastes edible. It's sad.

Pearl: It's all about simple recipes! And lack of distractions, maybe...
