Since we have been too warm for snow to stick around, it was a pleasure to wake up to a white freezing frost fog which had covered everything in the night. The perfect crystals were everywhere making the world a lovely frost wonderland.
The last few days I have been trying to finish up my holiday baking and I think that I may have succeeded with the last of the cookie / bars being finished.
Start with excellent ingredients...check! I have other plans for this flour sack as well. I was so excited to find that you are still able to find flour in a sack. My grandma would buy them and embroider them for drying dishes. Next step...add delicious unsalted butter. It even has a beautiful creamy glow to it.
Then add various ingredients to your butter...sugar, oats, nuts, spices.
Mix it all up and make sticky rounds of cookie dough to bake up. This set includes making wells so you can later fill them up with dark chocolate.
Bake them up. Cool them off and they are ready for your melted chocolate.
The baking of the bars and other Christmas cookies...repeat with slightly different ingredients to make other sweets to give away and to enjoy for yourself. Merry Christmas!
