I have not photographed them in days!
I do however have all my shopping & wrapping done.
My Christmas cards are mailed and
my family and friends are already enjoying them.
Right now, I am spending time in the kitchen,
baking and preparing for Christmas.

Yesterday I made my mothers Butter Cookies
Cream 1 cup of butter with 1 cup of sugar
Add 1 unbeaten egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt
and 2 teaspoons of vanilla
Blend in 2 & 2/3 cups of flour

Once your dough is prepared,

or use a cookie press.
I prefer the later.
That's it, easy peasy...

Today I made Raspberry Almond Shortbread Thumbprint Cookies
these are even easier.
These will get a drizzle of glaze tomorrow.
For those that are interested, the recipe can be found here.
More baking and dip making tomorrow,
I sure do hope my "birds" surivive!
