It just wouldn't be right to not take some time off from the normal day-to-day happenings and bake for Christmas.
Of course, that meant making some puppy chow, icebox oatmeal cookies, traditional sugar cookies, peanut butter balls, peanut & chocolate clusters, fondant, peanut butter fudge, and M&M cookies. Yes, that's quite a bit. My hands still smell like vanilla.
Would you believe we forgot to get sprinkles when we went to the store?? Our bad. It was quite sad, as we always like to use green & red sprinkles, plus red hots. We made up for it by scrouging around in the cabinet for green sprinkles left over from last year. Oh, and a few sugar cookies boast multi-colored sprinkles left over from our ice cream sundae desserts.
And, naturally, while we cooked we ate cookie dough before it was baked, sipped coke, and listened to some of our favorite Christmas songs from years past, along with a new one or two.
