The Covid-safe cookie swap was fun! We brought the chocolate chip cookies (made by Punch) from a Katie Jacobs recipe. The five great treats we came home with were:
- Amy's shortbread rounds.
- Sally's mini pumpkin bread loaf, made from her mother's recipe.
- Lydia's cutout cookies decorated to look like pretty windows with snowy white icing trim--because we have all been stuck indoors so much, she said.
- Jen's Norwegian cookies.
- Paige's graham cracker crack, that barklike treat you may have seen made with a saltine cracker base....with butter and chocolate.
It was really nice to catch up in the cold. I also went to Anderson Park with P and our young (six year old) neighborhood friend, a boy named G. We met friend V and her mom at park and walked, but that turned out to be rocky, then I took P and G for hot chocolate and one mini pastry each.
Good night.

I bet the catching up part with your neighbors was great! Also the cookies sound like a total yum.
ReplyDeleteMy girl and I baked cookies this past week, for the first time in a couple of years. I could be my own best customer, so they are in the freezer until at least Wednesday when my big boy comes home. She made gingerbread men, and I made butter almond cookies in the cookie press. I used Earth Balance and powdered egg substitute so they are vegan, they are actually quite good. I’m hopeful for future ventures into vegan baking.
Your own best customer, LOL! Those vegan cookies sound great! Earth Balance sticks or tub? I’ve heard good things about vegan baking with that brand. I think Figgy used it fir peopermint brownies last Christmas. How to s your dear C? Love alice
