Well, today was our annual cookie baking day. Although these are the best cookies on the face of the earth, making them is a chore. And not just because I hate baking. It is a tradition in our family to make candy cane cookies. This year, because both Diane and I have a kitchen aid, we decided to make 4 double batches. I repeat - 4 DOUBLE batches. Yes folks this is a LOT of cookies. I can't stand to bake in the first place, but rolling all of these cookies to form candy canes is a bit much. It sure is a lot easier with the 2 kitchen aids! We did one with white & one with red food coloring. (well, 2 white and 2 with red food coloring). That worked well. After and HOUR of making candy cane's we switched to making balls. Much much easier. I don't know how people can stand to make all different kinds of cookies. We complain about one type.
But, after 5 hours of mixing, forming and baking we did have a yummy result. And we have more cookies this year than we have ever had! I can see the scale moving up in numbers already. It's a good thing we don't make these a lot!
Tomorrow is Christmas at Chris's dads house. This is going to be fun. I didn't have anything to wear, so on my way home from Dianes I stopped at Macy's and got myself 2 new sweaters. Yay for me.
Well, Elf is on so I must go and indulge in a little relaxing tv watching!
