attend as many as I possibly can.
I LOVE CHRISTMAS PARTIES.
JANN of SHARE YOUR CUP is having a
SUGAR AND SPICE CHRISTMAS PARTY.
I found ROSIE, the PEPPERMINT ANGEL, at a thrift store several years ago and I just love her to pieces.
She has that adorable smile on her face....
that cute little hat...
that to-die-for candy stripe dress...
holding a
PEPPERMINT BANNER...
and.....
she really knows how to pick out delicious SHOES....:)
SO, she and I got down to the business of COOKIE MAKIN'.
First off....Chocolate Chip....
Chocolate Chip Cranberry Pecan....
O HONEY
Cookies look adorable served in pretty CUP CAKE LINERS
Dark and White Chocolate Chip ones are delicious.
My dear friend, AUDREY of
TIMELESS TREASURES
sent these Vintage Fire King coffee mugs to me.....
I was so thrilled to get them and I've used them many times....
and, of course, when I do, I think of my sweet Audrey and am so thankful for our online friendship.
I just use a Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe (or a delicious mix that you can buy at the store),
add a handful of pecans...
a handful of CRANBERRIES
and, as always,
an extra capful of Vanilla.
They are delicious and wonderful to serve at CHRISTMAS TIME....
Thanks so much for coming by to see my
SUGAR AND SPICE post.
CHRISTMAS LOVE TO ALL...

ReplyDeleteYou have just made me hungry for a cookie. I will be making loads of cookies starting next week though. I will have to watch myself than. I just love your banner, especailly the woman by the fire.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful post. I hope the cookies were made with splenda instead of regular sugar that way I could have one. Love your peppermint girl she is adorable. Have a blessed day. Madeline

Oh I love the little tips you pop into your posts for us! Cupcake liners to keep the cookies corraled...I like that! I have even used Pillsbury dough and added little things when I want to do something quick...thansk for the tips about that, too!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of adding cranberries, never thought of doing that! Sweet post!
ReplyDeletehi bj ... love your sweet little Rosie. Nice to have her around for company while you bake those delicious cookies. Need to try that as I have fresh cranberries left over from Thanksgiving. Thanks for the tip on using a box mix. Will be a good time-saver for me. So happy that you are still enjoying the Fire King mugs. They look really pretty in your pictures. Thanks for the link.
