Wow such a full day.. pardon me while I curl up under the desk & sleep for a bit. I made Springerle cookies. They'er German anise cookies basically. They're all on our kitchen table right now, 'drying' so I can bake them in the morning. I was good today though - only had 3 of the springerles.. mostly to try, one fresh out of the oven, one after it had cooled some and one after they were room temp. I was kind of shocked how the flavor and texture changes so dramatically.
Then I must do the sugar cookies. Didn't get to do those today because I couldn't find the recipe. Plus the last of the chocochip.. maybe a could of snicker-doodles if I have leftover sugar cookie dough.
I'm going to make a Mayan Chocolate cheese cake for the family gathering on Saturday, fudgey goodness with cinnamon & a dash of cayenne.. I love cooking!

I went with my dad to Walmart this evening & we were picking out a card for my grandparents. I was dancing and singing xmas card karaoke but my dad just kept trying to slink off like he didn't know me. I think he was ashamed..lol. But how card you *not* sing with "Feliz Navidad"?? It's just not possible - oh and you have to have the fun accent too!..lol.
Anyway - Have a great night all!!
