Today, I have ambitiously decided to do a bunch of baking and send out Christmas cookie boxes. Cue spree of buying baking supplies. We will see how long my motivation lasts, but probably I will be pestering folks for mailing addresses soon.

Presently I am waiting for some butter to soften. I have about seven recipes lined up, although two are really variations on one theme. With a little luck, I will be all done by next weekend.

Stay tuned for more of Abby's kitchen misadventures.

Cookie Update 1

Dough in fridge. Nothing actually baked yet. I got to crush peppermints with a hammer, which was fun, but next I think I'll do something that doesn't require so much preparation. The gingersnaps from the Louisa May Alcott cookbook, maybe.

Well on my way to making myself sick from eating raw cookie dough, as always.

Very glad I didn't try the malted milk cookies now.

Cookie Update 2

Have spent all day in the kitchen. Have yet to produce an actual cookie. Lots of dough refrigerating, mostly. I will turn out at least one sheet of gingersnaps tonight, so help me God.

However, I do have this spiffy new moodset! Many thanks to kevasangel74 for hosting it for me. I'm particularly amused by the image that goes with this mood.
