Rosie's Christmas Cookies
This is only the third time we've made these in more than 18 years in this house. That might have something to do with the fact that the first time we made them, MJ and Chloe were about 5 and 3. It was messy. I had to leave the room. By the time Frank and the girls were done, there was flour literally from ceiling to floor, and the rug in our breakfast nook (where most of the mixing took place) looked like a Destin beach. And then there was the girls' hair! Oy. We made paste in the bathtub.
A year or two ago, we were finally ready to try again. The girls were tidier and more skilled, and we had by then incorporated a big mixer into our kitchen (no more hand stirring!). It was a piece of cake, or rather, a full yield of some yummy cookies.
Nina's Chess Pie
I'm trying a simple variation on this one today. I'll let you know how it turns out.
And last but not least:
Tons and tons of wrapping. I'm not sure how we ended up with so much to wrap when we slashed our gift list down to the bone this year, but there you go.
This is why I believe in Santa Claus.
