What have I been doing as far as my baking is concerned? Well... For RAGBRAI, that went through Pocahontas, I did 713 Screamwiches. (Ice-cream sandwiches) That's 1426 cookies. Not including the rejects or the ones Ron ate. That was a project. But it was all chocolate chip cookies so it went pretty quickly. Now I am working on some holiday themed Screamwiches.
I am looking for a really good sugar cookie recipe. One that will hold up to the ice-cream. I'm no decorator so I have never gotten into sugar cookies that have to be decorated with fancy frosting colors and use bags and tips. But I might try my hand at a few things now.
As far as a Christmas themed Screamwich, I did some with mint chip ice-cream and a chocolate fudge cookie. They are very tasty.
Doesn't that look good? Of course you have to like mint! :)
Today is Saturday. I made some sugar cookie dough on Thursday night. (It should be cold enough!) I will work with that today. Ron will be running the smoker today, so I'm going to put together some Bacon Cookies. I ordered a pig cookie cutter. They also had a bacon shaped one so I got that too. But they aren't here yet. I am so looking forward to those getting here!
That cookbook I talked about in the last post has been burning a hole in my mind for a long time now. There are so many things I want to make. And maybe make-over, make new again. Tis the season for cooking in the house!
It's 52 degrees right now and not supposed to get above the upper 60's today. Perfect day to experiment! I may even write another post today!
Baby shower at 5:00pm today. I haven't seen little Elliot for far too long! That may put a damper on writing. I think tomorrow is free all day though. Ron will be smoking again and I will be baking and cooking!
