Yeah, I've been in the kitchen experimenting with baked goods. My sisters did a conference call trying to find out if we were going to do something different this year, because of the children's input.
It was the same day that I was in the kitchen trying out recipes. I only baked two. I think I am going to do the fruitcake cookies and these below... they are a drop cookie...cranberry and walnut.
I only made a batch...Hubster, my Mom and Daun, my oldest daughter, where here when they came out of the oven...they didn't stay very long, especially when the coffee was done! LOL.
Hubster was at home four days last week and he asked for some homemade bread. If you're looking at the pics, notice how the top of the loaf is brown. Well, he like it this way...with a crust. Just before I removed it from the oven, I rubbed butter on top, then allowed it to brown crisp. Needless to say, it filled the house with that homey aroma that you get only from freshly baked bread!
I love baking bread and all the other yummy desserts that my family enjoy. Hope you have a Happy Wednesday and the entire week!
Best and Warmest Wishes,
Loretta

ReplyDeleteThe cookies look great!
ReplyDeleteI bet the aroma in your kitchen was heavenly from the cookies and bread. It all looks yummy good and I know it was indeed.
ReplyDeleteI do fruit cake cookies every year. They get better with age. You can make them a month ahead and they are still good if they last that is.... Hugs. LJ
