I started off with laundry, then a trip to the store and then back home to bake cookies. Today I made Nellies recipe for the oatmeal cranberry cookies. I had to use lemon extract instead of orange. I also added some dried pineapple bits and they are delicious. Thanks Nellie. http://berriesandmore.blogspot.com/
I made the cookies I had in mind yesterday, the ones where I put some chopped cherry bits in and the Hershey’s kiss with the cherry filing on top. I mentioned this recipe a few days ago. YUMM!!!! I have everything all ready for the cookie exchange tonight.
Now to sit down and rest a bit. My mind is still loaded with worry for my sister and her surgery next Tuesday. All kind thoughts and prayers for her will be greatly appreciated!
Pictures tomorrow of my haul from the cookie exchange.
Stay safe and be happy!!
Beth
Hi Beth! I've never been to a cookie exchange, but they do sound fun! I bake about 5 different kinds myself and split them up and give as gifts. A tradition started by my grandmother. Although I swear she baked at least 10-15 different types of things. I'm not that disciplined!
ReplyDeleteI'm sending good luck vibes to you and your sister right now, and will be thinking of you next week.
oatmeal/cranberry sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness that sounds yummy!!! I can't wait to see the pictures.
ReplyDeleteOhhh the cookies sound delish I can not wait to see and hear what you got to bring home. I will FOR SURE be praying for your sister and YOU Beth take care and rest
ReplyDeleteGod Bless HUGS!!!
I am remembering both you and your sister in prayer.

ReplyDeleteThose cookies sound delish! Hope all goes will with your sister. Will say some prayers for her.
ReplyDeleteThat cookie exchange sounds very yummy. I LOVE LOVE cranberry cookies. I have a cranberry/cheddar cheese recipe that makes my mouth water. It's yummy. Cranberry oatmeal is a win win.....now pineapple sounds like perfection:)
ReplyDeleteI saw Nellie's recipe and thought it sounded wonderful. I will be praying for your sister. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI started (after walking) with laundry and baking cookies today too. : )

Take Care

Absolutely, Rae is on my prayers list..I so pray that things will go well and she will be fine. You sound like you have been extra busy these days. Tasty goodies. I made grandma's candy and it turned out okay. Not tasty like hers but okay. Take care of yourself. XOXO
ReplyDeleteYour cookies sound wonderful! I can't wait to see the variety you come home with.
ReplyDeleteI will keep your sister in my prayers-sisters are truly a gift from God, by blood and/or heart.

Sometimes busy days are just what the doctor ordered. I'll keep your sister in my prayers and you too. :)
ReplyDeleteAll of your cookies sound wonderful. That must have really been fun tonight. I will pray also for your sister. Hugs! BGB
ReplyDeletethose cookies sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteKeeping your sister in my thoughts and prayers. I haven't even started baking. Can't do it to soon or I will eat everything. But I am going to check that cranberry oatmeal recipe out. I have a couple bags of cranberries in the freezer and was just thinking how could I use them in a cookie. Also a healthy one. I so wish I could have organized a cookie exchange as so much less work and you get such a variety. Wishing you a wonderful blessed Christmas. Hugs Carrie
ReplyDeleteIt does seem to be a full day but when you're worried I feel it's easier to keep occupied!? You can be assured of prayers for your sister's op today. Hugs and blessings. Joan
ReplyDeleteYum! Cookies. Bill won't be home, so I won't be baking. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI hope your sisters surgery goes well Beth, prayers coming your way.
ReplyDeleteThose Cookies sound delish, must pop over .
Enjoy your Day
