cookies and aprons - a Friend to knit with

cookies and aprons

Wednesday, February 07, 2007

I love cookies, I always have. And apparently, I am now having some sort of love affair with aprons. Its weird, having never worn an apron before, I now can't seem to cook or bake if not wearing one. Everything seems to look and taste better! And, I definitely dance better while wearing one too! :)


I made Libby and I coordinating ones. She cannot bake without wearing hers either. Isn't it funny how the littlest things make life more fun!

When school started last fall, we began our "cookie of the week" plan. Each week, one child took their turn going through cook books or our recipes and chose a cookie to try. They really loved this, and it made me try some new recipes. However, sometime after Halloween we stopped doing it. I don't know, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, may have had something to do with it. So, in an attempt to get back into the cookie groove, I am going to post our "cookie of the week". Because, cookies and knitting, well that's a good combo too!

This week was Charlies turn, and he chose Snicker doodles. It is my mothers recipe that we have enjoyed for years.
Snicker doodle Cookies:
1 cup Crisco
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 3/4 cup flour
2 tsp cream of tarter
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Cream Crisco, sugar and eggs, add vanilla and then dry ingredients.........
Bake at 400 for 8-10 minutes for crunchy cookie
Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes for soft cookie
*****Update**********
I forgot to tell you to roll into balls, and roll in cinnamon/sugar mixture......... (about 2 tps cinnamon with 1/4 cup sugar)
