Jingle bells, Santa smells, I’m headed off to work…

Dec 24th, 2009 by bipolarlawyercook

Yep.  Workin’ Christ­mas Eve.

But that’s okay.  You know why?

I baked.  Cook­ies.  Lots of ‘em.  I made my tra­di­tional Fine Cook­ing but­ter cook­ies with rasp­berry jam fill­ing and frost­ing.  And choco­latey cook­ies sprin­kled with salt from Bar­bara Lynch’s cook­book Stir.  (Run, don’t walk, make these cook­ies.)  And the best tof­fee you will ever eat, ever.

That’s right– recipe links.  In case you needed some last minute projects.

Bring on the hol­i­day shop­pers.  I have sugar, I will not be stopped.  I will smile at you and you will like it, you last minute shopper.

Also?  I have a rockin’ red $4.97 long-sleeved snow­man tee-shirt with rainbow-colored span­gles I picked up at Sears, because I told every­one at work I would bake if every­one wore Weasley sweaters or ugly, sparkly hol­i­day gear.  I’ma gonna wear it with my denim skirt and my fes­tive red clogs.

I might even bust out the antler head­band.  It’s Christ­mas.  Magic might happen.

Wish me luck.  And lots of hassle-free returns.

    I’ve got a choco­late cookie recipe that’s very sim­i­lar, but it adds chunks of dried apri­cot and shred­ded coconut. Sounds weird, but it’s REALLY GOOD. I think it has an egg in it too.

    Merry Christ­mas to you and yours! And I wish you very few returns even if they are has­sle free.

    I’ve been informed that on top of doing some of the fam­ily bak­ing (exper­i­men­tal peanut butter–don’t ask, pecan balls, and but­ter­scotch cook­ies), I must help my sis­ter frost sug­ars and gin­ger­breads tomor­row! But she made 2 kinds of choco­late good­ies with me in mind, so I sup­pose I should be cooperative…
