Today was Baking Day. It's also Saturday, so I think it actually corresponds to the ditty in the Little House Books (Wash on Monday, Iron on Tuesday, Mend on Wednesday, Churn on Thursday, Clean on Friday, Bake on Saturday, Rest on Sunday). Don't ask me why I remember that.....
Anyway, so today was the day I'd set aside to do all my Christmas baking. I didn't get up quite as early as I'd thought (oh, well!), and I had to run to the store a couple of times, but now, 11 hours, 4 pounds of butter, a dozen egg, and innumerable cups of flour and sugar later, I'm done. Well, almost. I still have to decorate my rolled cookies, and I might make Whiskey Balls after dinner.
End result?
- 4 dozen red sugar cookies
- 4 dozen green sugar cookies
- 6 dozen rolled cookies, cut into shapes (Angels, Santas, Reindeers, and Stockings)
- 6 dozen molasses cookies
- 6 dozen peanut butter kiss cookies (PB cookies with a Hershey's kiss in the middle)
That's a crazy amount of cookies. My kitchen is a wreck and I have cookies on EVERY flat surface!
But, it's fun, and I give them as gifts.
