MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
It was a sprint to the finish! Christmas Eve was our traditional cookie decorating party. I always make gingerbread cookies and sugar cookies, but the sugar cookies never get eaten. Everyone claims to like them, but I end up throwing a lot of them away. This year, I decided to try a new recipe- the Brown Sugar Cut-out Cookies from Sally’s Baking Addiction. Everyone liked them! My son described them as “if a gingerbread cookie and regular sugar cookie had a baby.” I also tried something different with these cookies- instead of using a flax egg, I used Just Egg as an egg replacer! I think it worked great. When I checked the mail, I had four cards- how exciting! Now, if you sent me a card and haven’t gotten one from me, just remember that there are TWELVE days of Christmas, and this is only the first one. (Ha ha… I only got about half my cards mailed BUT THAT’S OKAY. According to my schedule, there’s still time.) Then… Santa came! I threw my imaginary elf hat in the air (like the elves in Polar Express after Santa’s sleigh takes off) and collapsed into bed. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!
