Cookies

We had company this weekend so I made an applepie and the kids helped making cookies. I remembered that I got a cooky cutter with text for my birthday last year, so we tried it out and this was the result. The letters are clear when we stamped them but became unclear when we baked to cookies, so I think I added too much butter.

The cooking and baking is done

Well, this is the result of an afternoon grocery shopping, cooking and baking. The turkey is stuffed, the cookies are made and a speculaas parfait, which is delicious. We tried the parfait last week and is was so good, we decided to have it for christmas day dessert.
The yummy result is shown here:

Some cupcakes filled with cherries and apples. Some traditional cheese cookies in the back and some white fondant cookies.

We are ready for Christmas...

And the snow is still here

OK, this is becoming a record for us. The snow is still here and the weather forecast stated that it will snow again this afternoon. Could there be a white Christmas? We didn´t have a white Christmas since 1986, so this would be fantastic... We will see.
But since DH took my car keys, we are stuck at the house, so the boys wanted to make cookies, and this is the result:

I think the ice crystal cookies look fantastic, and the taste as good as they look. Another thing we tried, was the cookie christmas tree:

Let me tell you that this is not wath I expected... It is fun, but it doesn´t look so nice. And it doesn´t look like a christmas tree, what it is supposed to be... but we tried, and we will try harder next time.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Ready steady Bake!

Yesterday a package (well actually more than one package) was awaiting me.
In the biggest one, was my order of Holiday baking supplies. I will attempt to make the christmas tree in cookies... Will let you know how that worked out, and also some cupcake supplies for the christmas coffee. Will show you teh result.

Autumn day

Yesterday at noon the autumn break started for the kids and since I had to work the boys went playing with one of son#1 classmates who happens to have a brother in the same class as son #2. Today a friend with whome son#1 skies came over to play and since the weather is awfull, we decided to bake some cookies. I must say the rsult looks yummie.
