Good things

cookies

Come to those who bake. And anyone they know who is lucky enough to snag a few goodies.  One very lucky individual will be receiving a box of these in the mail in a couple days. Making iced (and decorated) sugar cookies is probably my favorite holiday tradition, even though I had to use Valentine’s themed cookie cutters this year because I didn’t have wintery ones on hand.

I also made these ridiculously delicious cookies – they are like thin mints, but covered in white chocolate and crushed up peppermint candies. Mmmm. They are coming with me tonight to a a friend’s Christmas party. And let me tell you, if it weren’t for this party tonight, I might not leave the house today because it’s 20 degrees out, but feels like 7. Glad we’re headed somewhere a bit warmer tomorrow morning.

What you do

When it starts snowing. You eat ice cream, of course. Tis the New England way. And that’s burnt caramel to be exact.
