Holiday Cookies

My mommy lets me lick the bowl when she makes sugar cookie dough. She shapes them with a cookie cutter and brushes them with lots of butter. And when she puts them in to bake, I stare and stare and wait and wait. They are hot; she uses a mitt. She lets them cool; she cleans a bit. Soon we’re ready to make designs. I try to draw very straight lines. Mommy says that I don’t have to, that wavy lines are okay, too. I’ll give cookies to Daddy and Santa and maybe to my sweet nana. They like to see what I have done. Cooking with Mommy surely is fun!

delightful memories, Linda. I had some similar memories emerge today as I was baking cookies and thought back to spending Christmas with my mom helping her bake cookies. Thanks for this remembrance...Merry Christmas, Sara

Thank you dear Sara. Sweet memories of the holidays, when all my aunts baked their "specialty". I asked my mother and each aunt for their recipe so I could publish a book. I asked my cousin to illustrate the book. We never went to press, but I am blessed to have the recipes and the memories. :)

All good here Tom. I hope with you as well. Yes, especially if one no longer has family with which to share new memories, the old ones are comforting. :)
