Cookies: for Christmas, for rolling, for eating


The afore mentioned sugar cookies cut into hearts and spread with toffee are delectable. Just a thought.

Note: Apparently there is some danger of toffee made in the can exploding and pouring hot sugary death all over everyone.  Here is what I've done many times without incident (but be away of hot sugary death as a concern)  - remove label and put can of sweetened condescend milk in a heavy dutch oven.  Cover with water and let water boil for about two hours.  Top up water as needed but if you fill it all the way up and keep a heavy lid on it the whole time you shouldn't have much trouble.  After two hours turn off the heat and let it sit until you can remove the can without tongs or anything.  Pop it open and spread it on all of the cookies and fill a cake with it and eat it awkwardly in the kitchen by the spoonful.

Cinnamon Hearts



Last night Quatro and I listened to Six to Eight Black Men and made Katy Elliot's Cinnamon Hearts and Alton Brown's Sugar Cookies and watched Christmas episodes of Fraiser.  The cookies are delightful and cinnamon hearts smell magical (although they looked perfect when the went in, some imperfections surfaced while the baked) and David Sedaris' is the very essence of holiday fun. At least in my family.


To counteract Katy Elliot's beautiful pictures here is an ugly one of our hearts.
