Holiday Sweets Swap

I recieved my pages...yeah! I did not know to expect them...what a nice surprise ( plus I got my paycheck in the mail..whoo hoo...double surprise). I made the gingerbread cookies last night. Thank you Lynne! I have never been able to find a gingerbread recipe that I like. They are either too tough and not pliable, or too gooey and stick to everything. This recipe was perfect! My daughter and I made our normal sugar cookie cutouts, our chocolate sugar cookie cutouts, and added gingerbread cookies too. We were baking baking baking! Then it was time to decorate...she did about 4 and was tired...lol. I still have 3 bags of cookies to decorate. I am goig to be one of those insane souls braving the crouds today. We have been so behind this year...we are doing our Christmas shopping today! UGH. Never again. I will probably need a few drinks by the time I get back..haha

Take it easy out there shopping with all the loonies! :-) I do have to send DH out sometime today to get eggs. Otherwise, we're going to be having cold cereal for breakfast tomorrow! Cold cereal for breakfast on Christmas day just isn't what I have in mind.

Hi Azzy,

I'm so happy the recipe worked for you. For about 10 years now I've used this recipe to Gingerbread houses and cut out cookies and as you found out it is the perfect consistency for doing all that. PLUS it has no eggs in it so the kids like to eat pinches of the dough as we go along.

The embellishment I used on the page was that technique we talked about in the group about 6 weeks ago. Using a template on Mulberry paper. I won't be making $100 on ebay anytime soon, but I thought they turned out very cute.

Azzy, Good thing you are not here. You would have a hard time getting anywhere to shop! LOL ten inches of snow and ice. We were the lucky ones, too. In Indiana they got up to 30 inches !! It looks beautiul but I am glad I don't have to go anywhere! LOL My youngest daughter and I (she's 24) have baked cookies twice now and when she came over and saw the new recipes, she wanted to bake more! I said Oh no! But I do think there are some great recipes this time and such clever LOs. Have a great time shopping and Merry Christmas !!!!
