It's Cookie Time
I just finished up a batch of Chocolate Shadows.
A rich peanut butter cookie marbled with peppermint flavored chocolate. Press them down flat like a Snickerdoodle ...they are so yummy.
These are going to a church function tomorrow night. After I drop the cookies off I am heading over to our so called Congressperson's (#KremlinKay) office for the Impeachment Demonstration.
Later I am going to put together a batch of Spicy Mexican Chocolate Cookies. This is a slice and bake cookie, so they are going into the freezer until I need to bake them. Those are going to a different church function on Thursday.

Just joking, hopefully way too many participants. We were going to join one in the nearest town and then across the square to dinner, but I'm covered with a blistery rash and know from experience with poison ivy that some will assume it's something contagious and act stupid. How could I have been around Plumbago auriculata for 40 years and never learned it does that?
I dropped off some almond cloud cookies, the King Arthur recipe, at our kids' house on the way out of Georgia for the winter because our DIL loves them; she'll allow herself a couple, and her guys will disappear the rest.
My husband surprised me by saying he wants those "white thingies" (turned out to be white chocolate-gingerbread blondies, Martha Stewart's,), so I should do those this afternoon since you reminded me.
But just realized that may be it for now. I always make a ginger spice cookie with orange zest and an almond pressed into the middle, but the family who expect them won't be down until after the new year.
And most people around here're on a diet or gone. I can always knock out some oatmeal lace cookies (the kind that use heavy cream and are extremely thin), batter quickly stirred up on the stove, if needed. Long ago we had neighbors who'd drop by and expect Scotch and some of those. That'd be nice to start again. On the patio because it's Florida.
Happy holidays.
