| Yummy butter cookies |
Christmas is all the reason we need to stuff ourselves silly with delicious cookies. Nothing is more delicious than Oma's butter cookies. (She's our queen baker!) Using her recipe, the kids and their daddy spent an afternoon kneading, cutting, decorating, baking.. and eating (I take a back seat when it comes to baking cookies :-)). We used a variety of cutters, some traditional Christmas motives, some not (there's a Unicorn in the left hand corner). There was an elk cutter we got from IKEA, and a cute little mushroom cutter. At the end of the baking session, however, all there was left were a couple of crumbs. As usual, our cookies had very short life span. It's out of the oven, quick cool down wait, before they were all gobbled up. Normally, by end of November, Oma would then bake and supply us with generous monster sized boxes of our favorites. :-)
