Christmas has been so nice and quiet, which is what's usually needed after all the hubbub that always comes before. But we did have some ice Christmas morning, and almost thought we wouldn't make it to church
but we did. Then things got warmer on Sunday and it mostly melted and I am still grateful at how amazing it all was, to snow just in time for Christmas and melt away right after.
A patron brought in some homemade goodies for us at work last week, and I asked her for a particular cookie recipe. They are chocolate drop cookies with chocolate chips and dried cherries, which sort of dissolve and give a fruity flavor. Well, mine spread out too much and looked unattractive; she didn't say to chill the dough. Anyway, I hadn't baked the whole batch, so I pressed the remainder into a small cake pan and cooked it that way.
I like it like that! At least it looks more appealing. The recipe is worth keeping.
They remind me of brownies. Your description makes them sound worth knowing about. Could you share the recipe?
ReplyDeleteGretchen, they're not like brownies. And the lady who gave me the recipe came into the library the other day. She said she did chill the dough. I'll send you the recipe.
DeleteIt's not snow that is melting here, it's me!! From the heat. I could do with some of your ice and snow. And rain for the garden!
ReplyDeleteI wish you God's peace and blessings for the New Year, Lisa. xx
I'm sorry you're melting, Lynda! I wish you the same, too. xo
