Since Katie missed out on most of my Daring Baker challenge, I decided to make some cookies with her today. I dyed some sugar and had the dough all ready to roll out when she got home from school. Add a bag of Mrs. Carsons cookie cutters and well, fun was had by all. As you can imagine, there is no such thing as too much sugar. I had to shake off the cookies and reclaim the sugar after Katie was done “sprinkling” the “sparkly” on the cookies. We now have a ton of cookies for her to enjoy. I got the recipe fromAll Recipes-Sugar Cookie Cut Outs I’m pretty sure if left unattended, Katie would eat a whole bag of sugar. As it was, I let her think I was blind/stupid and didn’t bust her for tasting it. She has figured out sneaky, but hasn’t figured out that Mom can be sneaky too. 
I made Tom take a couple of photos, not just because we were making cookies, but because we were using Mrs. Carsons cookie cutters. I can’t even imagine how many cookies have been made with these over the years. You can tell she liked them because she had a ton of them. Dogs, hearts, santas, candy canes, stars, turkeys, you name it, there is a cutter for that. I got a few things from her pantry when they were emptying her home, one of the other things I got was an awesome Romertopf clay cooker that is one of my most favorite things to cook with. Mmmm…Balsamic Vinegar and Rosemary Chicken and Vegetables. (I confess, the potatoes never turn out when I make that, but I’m working on it.)
Things I can’t do:
Make any other type of potato other than mashed.

My lovely Mother in Law gave me my birthday present early, so this website and my email address are brought to you by Linda. I promise, I’m trying to get decent photo album software installed here so I can update it easier.
