What a crazy day it was today!! It's cold outside so we stayed home and had a cookie baking marathon!! My back is killing me right now but we've done quite a bit. First, look at my handsome helper (and don't pay attention to the mess in the back...oh come on, I asked you not to :) :
He had the most fun today by far. I wish I had more pictures of us working together but, to be honest, I completely forgot about my camera throughout the whole process :) But we ended up with:
A batch of white chocolate cranberry cookies:
Chocolate chip cookies:
Some shortbread cookies:
A batch of snicker-doodles:
These gingerbread cookies still need to be frosted:
And these festive brownies still need to be cut:
Still need to bake a couple more batches tomorrow. And then I wish somebody would come and clean this messy kitchen...I love when kids help but, man, they are messy :)
Are you done with Christmas baking (are you even doing it)?
Daughter and I did 3 batches of FUDGE today!
ReplyDeleteThen we got Chinese take-out for lunch and lost our motivation to bake.
Napping ensued. lol
Your cookies look yummy!
I'm not much of a fudge person, it can be a pain to cook to get it just right :) Funny, I was craving some Chinese too. Maybe, it has something to do with making Christmas sweets:)
DeleteIt all looks super yummy Lena!
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura!
DeleteYour cookies look very tasty and your helper is very handsom.
ReplyDeleteI did some cooking yesterday and blogged about the chicken liver pate.
I want to make a quiche using soya milk and lactose free cheese and a lemon merangue pie for boxing day.

Mmm...this sounds good!
DeleteGood job, Lena ! nice going on your baking. Sure wish I had a helper, you lucky girl.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely lucky to have my boys:)
DeleteThat is one good looking helper you have their!! The baking is done at our house, now on to the snack making and gift wrapping
ReplyDeleteOh, I haven't even started gift wrapping...Hopefully, over the weekend...
DeleteWhat great memories you are making for the kids though! I have been doing baking but I'm not done yet and don't worry some cookies will come your way. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, then we'll have an exchange because you are definitely on my list :)
DeleteI haven't done any Christmas baking. I bought some molasses for gingersnaps, I have good intentions! LOL. We have made several batches of mint covered oreos, but have given most away and eaten the rest :)
ReplyDeleteYum! Homemade Oreos sound delicious!
Deletenope, they are just plain old oreos dipped in melted andes candies...easy and addicting :)
DeleteWOW!! That's a LOT of baking!! I totally flaked out and only made shortbread... baking is NOT my forte. lol!! Everything looks awesome!! And I see no mess! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's not my forte either! Honestly, I rarely bake, mostly for big holidays :)
DeleteI'll pop by for a coffee and a cookie as they look that good!!
ReplyDeleteGill
I just spent a while wrapping presents, and my back is killing me also. I shouldn't have done it on the floor. We've done a little baking and plan to do more this weekend. We'll see if it really happens.
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy smile on your helper's face. Love the look of all those cookies. Yum!
ReplyDeleteHello Lena,
ReplyDeleteThe cookies look really scrumptious and what an attractive helper you have had too.He looks as if he enjoyed himself.I am just about to start baking and will be doing so throughout the weekend....very last minute but work comes first unfortunately....at least I have my tree up at last!
Have a fantastic Christmas!!!!
Amanda :-)
