ABC COOKIES...take a peek...you know you want to.

I, for one, am glad this weekend is over.  Besides dealing with sick kids and a somewhat sick husband it was long and I'm glad it's over, but as always there's never enough time to get everything done I want to get done.  Yesterday (as well as Saturday) I had the bright idea to make cookies.  I started on Saturday with making some Peanut Butter Blossoms and Cream Wafers.  My intentions were only to make a couple dozen Peanut Butter Blossoms but wound up making like 10 dozen and the same with the Cream Wafers and the cream wafers are no simple task my friends...  But as my mom said to me, "Oh, but Kimmie, the end result is so worth the hassle of making the cream wafers."  She was right...they are so melt in your mouth good it's not even funny!

Cream Wafers 

And it didn't end there.  My Aunt gave me some cookie cutters last holiday season to make some gingerbread man cookies...

Well, I made some yesterday because the weather looked like this....

So here are a couple pictures of how it went...

The mess my 9 year old daughter and I made rolling out dough.  I made a quadruple batch of gingerbread dough...LOTS O' DOUGH!!!

 

Cooling the cookies...I think I wound up with about 100 or so good ones to decorate...

My finished Gingerbread Men, I can't figure out why they look so sad...

My 9 year olds finished Gingerbread Men.  I love the colorful ones!!!

How's that for Gingerbread Man Cookies?  I love them...they make me smile.  But I think it was a "sweet" way to end the ridiculous weekend I had that started on Wednesday evening. 

I can't believe Christmas is only like 2 weeks away.  As usual I've not done any shopping or anything...not that I have money to do that.  This year is going to be very sparse...UGH!!!

Well, gotto get to work...have a GREAT day!  Stay warm...brrrr...
