Keeping with the theme of our first Christmas as husband and wife, I decided I should start doing my own baking for the holidays. My mom and sister did all of their usual Christmas baking, and I'm so glad they sent me home with leftovers. The new recipes I tried out could not possibly compare to our favourite family recipes. These cookies, however, still look and taste fantastic, and I really enjoyed trying something new yet traditional!
I found this recipe online at Canadian Living for Brown Sugar Cookies. They were simple to make, and it was fun to use my Christmas cookie cutters! I like how they held their shape, and they would be fun to decorate with icing and sprinkles. I just ran out of time, shhh.
I also made Snowball Cookies, a recipe I found again on Canadian Living's website. They are basically Sugar Cookies with chocolate chips mixed in, then packed into balls & rolled in icing sugar. I think raisins (among other ingredients) as a substitute for the chocolate chips would have tasted great too.
Earlier in the month, I wanted to make a special little dessert for a quick family visit at our place. I made heart pastries filled with cinnamon flavoured apples, and they were super yummy! I found the idea for Pie Inspired Pop-Tarts at A Beautiful Mess.
To end on a cheerful baking note, these festive mitts make me happy. They were a bridal shower gift :)
