I love cookies! Miss P's Papa was baking cookies today due to our 16" of snow.
Yummy ginger and molasses, peanut butter cookies, chocolate crinkles, and Spritz.
Sorry, my mouth is watering from thinking of all the choices.
Sounds good, right?
So, while thinking of cookies (hense, the picture) I decided to browse for ideas, as I'm off on winter break.
Searching for fun recipes and inspiration on Monday.
I will bake and eat, eat and bake...and pretty much be happy.
I fell upon these beauties.
Yum.
Must. Bake. These.
Immediatly!
