cookie birthday card

Here is a birthday card that I made for my nephew. I'm giving him a box of my home-made gourmet chocolate chip cookies as part of his gift.

snowmen

Thought I'd share some photo's of some snowmen that I made this year for Christmas. The top photo is a snowman made to sit on a table, mantel, shelf, etc. The bottom photo is snowmen that my children in daycare made for their parents. The clear glass ornament is filled with mini marshmallows.

Has it really been almost a year?!

Wow, it's been almost one year since I did anything with my blog! Well that is going to change starting with today! Every now and then I get into a baking mood. Here are some yummy treats that I have made recently - enjoy!

Snickerdoodle Muffin Sugar Cookies

Gourmet chocolate chip cookies

Valentine cookies

I made these cookies for our Daycare Valentine's party. The recipe that I use comes from a 1963 Betty Crocker book called "The Cooky Book". It uses a lot of powdered sugar is is so yummy!
