Angel Cookies.
If you are following our endeavor closely you will realize that we are out of rotation today. The reason for this is that Angie our baker for today has another birthday. Her first baking day fell on one of her boys birthdays and now another one has. I work all day tomorrow and have a meeting for science Olympiad in the evening so I was thrilled when she asked if we could switch.
These cookies were a cinch to make. I wasn't sure how well they were going to turn out because I got distracted when mixing my ingredients and put the baking soda with the sugar!!( I have always wondered why you have to mix the ingredients separately) Thankfully the baking gods were good to me and it didn't ruin the cookies at all. They are delicious. This is another recipe for those of you that want something not to challenging.
I had a thought the other day about my mom and baking. When I was younger my mother used to always do my nails for me any time I asked. At the age of twenty I started an apprenticeship with her to learn to do nails. Once I began said apprenticeship she told me she would no longer do my nails until I could make right hand look as good as my left (with acrylic). Anyone that has ever filed or polished their own nails knows that this is a huge challenge. I will have you know I finally got to the point that I could do my own nails very respectfully. So my thought is this: Will my mom still make me cookies, because I don't think I will ever get to her caliber in this:)

I think in 30 years you will be as good of a baker as your mom:) The cookies today were delicious!

2. Danish Almond Shortbread
3. Amaretti
They were scrumptious! I am getting a little spoiled with the daily cookie deliveries!
Your mom will always bake cookies for all of you. Doing nails was how you were going to earn your salary. Baking is for love. The cookies look great. I actually think you are on your way to being an excellent baker. Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteI have to agree as far as the spoiling with cookies. This has been a great week for yummies :)

I have to back track a bit on my comments. Thanks for switching, your a lifesaver. As each delivery is made, I taste and share my cookies most of the time. However sometimes I keep them all to myself. These were tasty morsels. I have starred this one for future baking. Thanks. Angie
ReplyDeleteOne thing I forgot to mention in my last comment, as I was so caught up with the cookies and the fact that I know my daughter is an excellent nail tech. I almonst lost a perfect opportunity to say I think in nails the student has exceeded the teacher and I very well expect to be proudly outdone by the four of you in the cookie departent. Love, Sharon
