Cookie little girl?

So far this week,there has been not a stitch sewn around here.  Instead my free time has been spent in the kitchen.  Baking Cookies....


Monday after work and dinner it was Lemon Crinkles This was my first time making this cookie recipe,I was intrigued by the ingredients,not to mention that lemon is a favorite of mine.  Although my cookies do not look as pretty as the ones in the link above,they are still pretty tasty :)


Tuesday evening I made Pumpkin Snickerdoodles This is the second time making these little gems,and they are just as good as the first time!  This recipe is a keeper for sure :)  The pumpkin is not at all over powering,but rather subtle.  This recipe makes around 4 dozen give or take a few,depending on how big you make them.


Tonight I made these Cran~Pistachio Cookies Again mine did not turn out pretty and plump like the ones pictured in the link above :(  I think that it has something to do with the altitude,or the amount of butter used.  Next time I am going to try using a half a stick less of butter and see if my cookies do not turn out so flat.  This recipe also yielded about 4 dozen.

They taste like Pistachio pudding to me,which is fine since I like it,and it is one of Mr. P's favorites!  Have you guessed that I have a bake sale coming up this weekend?  I am keeping one dozen from each batch and taking the rest to the sale.

Cookies,marshmallows,candy,fudge...

Do you think Santa will mind that I ate a couple of his cookies??
hehehe ;)

A while back I posted about asking for a recipe as my "extra"
for my month in the Sew Bee Blissful Bee.
Well below are the first few of what I received!

First up are Cinnamon chip oatmeal cookies,this recipe came
from Lyanna over at Purple Panda Quilts.
I searched High and Low for the Cinnamon chips so that I could
try out this recipe!  I finally found some last night at City Market.

This is recipe is a keeper :)

Last night I also made Marshmallows,for the first time ever!
Mr.P and I had some homemade marshmallows at the craft fair,and
Mr.P requested that I make some this year.
I found the recipe here

As requested I dipped them in chocolate,or should I say,peppermint,
Andies cream de menth,cinnamon chips,cherry chips,and milk
chocolate.  Three of which are pictured above.

Here is the bowl of all the marshmallows.
Mr. P wanted me to cut ours around 2 inches square,as
opposed to the 1 inch the recipe called for.  So we
ended up with about 45 marshmallows instead of 96.

This is what is left of the cherry/chocolate chip,pecan bark that
I made on Wednesday of last week.

These are Peanut Sweeties,I make these every year,they are one
of Mr.P's favorites!

Here they are all dipped in milk chocolate.

Chocolate covered pretzels.
I used up all the left over melted chocolate on the pretzels that were
left from making the Peanut Sweeties :)
They are yummy!

Next up Fudge.
This recipe came from Melissa,over at Sew Bittersweet Designs
This recipe got the stamp of approval from the Sweet Tooth of
the house,and me too of course!

The last Sweet of the day,is Peppermint Fudge,Which is going
to be a New Tradition if I have anything to say about it,and I Do ;)

Now the trick is to Not eat too much of all this Low Calorie  goodness!
Ha,yeah right ;)
