Today I spent nearly 6 hours making Christmas cookies for fun! My friend, Brandee came over and we listened to Christmas music, chatted and watched Christmas with the Kranks , while we baked all day. I had so much fun just making 2 of my favorite all time cookies, Kourabiedes(white-almond cookie) and Melomakarona(honey-walnut cookie.)
Brandee had never made Greek Christmas cookies before and she got to see all the hard work that goes into making cookies from scratch. Before she left she said, "I love you Myrna." I'm guessing that means she loved the cookies!
I made 200 so I had enough to give away to friends and neighbors. Does anyone cookie swap anymore under 30 years old? My cookies are all sealed in their Rubbermaid tins and ready to be eaten by beloved friends and family. I put my all into them and now I'm tuckered out! No matter how tired, I'm so obsessed with Christmas cookies that I'm asking my friends to all bring their favorite cookies for my Christmas gathering in a few weeks. Little do they know we'll be cookie swapping. I'm also working on making a holiday mix cd for them too. I'm kinda known for my mix cds!!! Ha! I love making them for all occasions.
Well that's all for now folks! Next time I'll be sure to share a cookie recipe. (YAWN) I'm off to bed!
