The Mister all but begged me to bake cookies this weekend. And with him, it's never simple. Take, for example, his wants for Saturday breakfast. Where I am good with making pancakes. He wants pancakes, bacon, eggs with veggies, potatoes... I could go on. I could!
So, why should cookies wants be any different? But, I was ready for his request. Isabel and I pulled out three mixing bowls, pre-measured our dry ingredients and then one-by-one, mixed the wet ingredients in my Kitchen Aid, combined the dry and put everything back into the mixing bowl to add the good stuff. That was a total run on sentence. I couldn't stop myself.
Isa and I were quick and stealth-like. We were able to mix three cookie doughs in under 30 minutes. And then, everyone left me as I baked over eight dozen cookies. What the heck was I thinking? Oh yeah, I guess I should mention that Marcos was in the guest bath finishing up the new back splash tile (which looks AWESOME), so I guess I kind of owed him.
Eight dozen cookies?!
So not what you think. I gave at least a dozen to my neighbor, Jen. And Marcos took five dozen into work for his guys on Sunday. That left us with a mere two dozen to enjoy.
We made Chocolate Chip with walnuts, Mini Chocolate Chip with Christmas M&Ms and Peanut Butter Kisses (which some people may refer them to Peanut Butter Blossoms. I think Kisses sounds better. And sounds more delish at that!).
So these three are definitely on our Christmas Cookie list of this holiday season. I also want to try my hand at Gingerbread Men and Butter Pecan Balls. I've never made either before.
What's on your Christmas Cookie list?! Still looking for some ideas!
