i had a pretty productive day today. first, i found a new use for my gargantuan shot glass - my lovely grad gift from the faculty of nursing....
mmmmm-mmmmm shortbread!!
mmmmm-mmmmm shortbread!!then i helped these cute Christmas smarties (the red ones have snowmen and snowflakes and trees on them) find their way into some double chocolate chip cookies....
and i found a good way to use my lastest, most favouritist flavouring - almond extract. yummers! here's a picture of most of the 257 cookies i made today (the rest are in my tummy).
and then in the evening we decorated our Christmas tree! this year we FINALLY have a real one - a scotch pine nonetheless. gorgeous!

Yummy!!
Oh my goodness! I hope I get a care package from your place this year!
Looks FANTASTIC!
Those look sooooooooooo yummy...we'll be over soon to have some!! (I wish!) Thanks for all the fun comments you've left on our blog! That's cool that you recognized that tree in our Halloween picture! Small world!
Yummy! I hope to taste some of those come Saturday! We just had our annual family baking day. We made 5 types of cookies and 2 appetizers!
Looks like you were busy. Tristan and I have gotten quite a few kinds of cookies baked and it seems everyone is doing great at sampling... Next week a few of us girls are doing a cookie exchange- bake 4 dozen cookies, keep one dozen, bring the rest and come home with 3 dozen of a different kind (actually dozen of 3 different kinds). variety without the thinking and planning... One of the girls and I will probably do this more often, except my non-Christmas baking is usually sugar free...
Hopefully we'll see some of these treats Jan 3rd?

257 COOKIES!!! You are my new hero! I don't know if I have EVER made that many. I love those smarties, where did you find them. What kind of cookies did you make with almond extract? Hope you have a wonderful evening enjoying your beautiful tree and yummy cookies!
