Boy is it nice to be home. Our first trip without kids in 10 years. I have to say leaving your children and dog is more difficult than I thought it would be, but we had a nice time and Kurt bowled well. I was nowhere near a computer for four days and I really missed my friends and our blogging(and the kids and dog). You guys as always did an awesome job. Thanks again to Sandy for taking over for me and doing a beautiful, tasty cookie.Well nothing like a little diffuculty to get me back into the swing of things. As you can see from the pictures Gavin took immense pleasure in grounding up our almonds. Cameron took part also but he's not into having his picture taken anymore. As I was reading my recipe I was wondering how I was going to get 7 dozen cookies out of such a small amount of ingredients. I was not able to, I must have made them to big. I think it made 31 cookies, and mine did not puff up pretty like Theresa's, they were very flat when they came out of the oven. The cinnamon and sugar makes them look much prettier. So all in all a very easy recipe with very few ingredients, the longest part was forming the half moons. The almonds make it a nutty, tasty treat.
My next baking day is Saturday and we are going up north to put the boat in the water!! This has never been done before the kids are out of school and we are excited. So I will either bake on Friday or Sunday. Maybe Angie or Shelly will trade with me??

Danielle, From a mom's point of view great to have you home safe and sound. Gavin does look like he is having a blast and how fun for the boys to share in the baking. The cookies look as good as the ones in Theres picture. Great job.

Welcome home, my friend. After being apart, I'm sure the the mom/son quality time was appreciated so much more! I really like the cinnamon and sugar topping on this cookie with just a hint of almond flavor.
ReplyDeleteI loved them!. Shelly wasn't even out the door before they were all gone. Great job to your helpers as well. A
ReplyDeleteLooks like Gavin had a great time chopping the nuts with that smile on his face! Cinnamon and sugar always make cookies taste better and pretty them up. I probably got more cookies from this recipe since I tend to make them smaller anyway.
ReplyDeleteGood pictures to tell the story, Danielle. Welcome home from your trip and have fun with the boat! Theresa G.
So glad you're back and we can talk anytime we want! I will trade with you and bake on Saturday. That means that you have to bake on Sunday-will that work?
