Ok, ok, so these cookies won't win a prize for beauty, but they sure do taste delicious, and they didn't go flat in the oven.I've never before been able to bake a batch of thumbprint cookies that didn't turn into pancakes in the oven. Today I tried a new recipe, and I like it. Granted, I have a thing or two to learn about the cookies' final appearance, but overall, the recipe is a success.
It's from Parade.com, and here it is.
The mega snowstorm that was supposed to arrive tomorrow, last into Tuesday, and guarantee us a White Christmas has decided to take a route too far south of us. Shoot. There's a chance of some "residual snow" backing into Maine from this system on Tuesday, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm adjusting to the idea of a brown Christmas and moving on.Last evening I took a few photos in the house, trying to capture the atmosphere. Our tree looks pretty short when photographed from the balcony. We have a much taller tree, about 12' tall I'd guess, but the thing got to be such a dreaded chore to put up each year that we decided to save ourselves some stress and get a shorter tree. I think we made a good decision.
Have a wonderful week-before-Christmas!
I do love a thumbprint cookie and yours look delicious. You have a Merry Merry Christmas yourself.
ReplyDeleteI have a short 4 ft tree but it works for our small retirement home. You look cozy and festive, ready for the holidays without snow...lol!
ReplyDeleteYou may be the only one I know who is hoping for snow. Not far from you I think they are getting more than enough.
ReplyDeleteCookies, decorations, the tree; looks like you are ready anyway. Keep dreaming of a white Christmas. It could still happen.
Hi Jean..Love the way your tree looks in the first picture..cool!
ReplyDeleteChristmas cookies look so pretty ..real festive.
Yes..I am at the point that I would like to see some snow too..didn't think I would say that,but the kid in me wants to see snow for Christmas!!
Besides I got my daughter snowshoes for Christmas and treated myself to a pair too...now we need snow..and it better!!
Awesome, Jean! And your cookies look a whole LOT better than mine! Your tree is so very elegant and beautiful! A very merry Christmas to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteYum...I shall have to give the receipe a try...I love Thumbprint cookies and haven't had any in a long time. The tree looks elegant. I love the photos taken from the balcony and the stairs. Looks like your area might be getting some snow now...I just want to be able to go out back and snowshoe...the doctor who told me I should probably give up snowshoeing and hiking has only made me more intent on going! Don't need too much snow to snowshoe anyways..Has Molly been adorned with a big red bow in celebration of the holiday?
