Right before December, I’m grateful Mr. Piggy found a way to fix our oven. I took a week off from work in hopes to bake cookies (and sell them). Unfortunately, I had other agendas which didn’t give me enough time to market and sell these cookies. I ended up sharing them with our families. According to the poll, the chocolate chips and the butter cookies are a huge hit. Decorated sugar cookies take the most time, but always fun to play with. Hope to get these out next year.
My first batch of cookies came out and they turned out pretty good, don’t you think? I make these once a year, so I get rusty. Different type of pans yield different results? Who knew?! Decorating these guys and gals are always fun!
This is my 2nd batch of cookies that I’m getting paid for! Mr. Piggy’s cousin texted me a couple of weeks ago and told me she was shopping for cookies for a friend’s baby shower (neutral gender). She was surprised how much these cookies costs. I didn’t think much of it. Half hour later, she texted me again to see if I was interested in making them and that she’d ordered from me. Given the time frame, I was able to deliver. I was excited to use these cookies cutters!
Here are more cookies for the donation this week: chocolate butter cookies (ginger bread man), sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies (from my sister), butter cookies, peanut butter blossoms and chocolate pistacchio biscuits.
My sister, nephew and nieces made these beautiful cards to go along with the boxes of cookies.
This week I managed to box up 13 boxes of cookies. On top of the 7 from last week, I got 20 boxes for 20 different families. Yay!
Baking a variety of cookies to donate later this week. Let’s go!
I spent the bulk of the weeknights in the kitchen baking cookies in our semi-working oven. Our oven is hanging on the thread these days (with temperature not going any higher than 300 degrees). Every night I’d baked a small batch and keep adding to the pile. Today I’m excited to box these up because I’m donating these to front line healthcare workers in our neighborhood! My sister shared her tray of Mexican wedding cookies (snow balls).
Once I posted this on FB page, these were claimed within minutes! I got 7 boxes total and with the high demand for them, looks like I will be baking more next week.
🎶 It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go…🎶 especially in the kitchen! I am planning to spread some holiday joy this year and share some of these cookies. Starting with this batch…
No tricks this year, just all treats.
Trying out a new recipe for biscuit. Luckily I had some leftover icing I can use. They turn out to be very cute. It all went to Ah Lo’s classmates.
Christmas eve – celebrated Christmas on Mr. Piggy’s side at his cousin’s house. We ate, we opened gifts, watched some YouTube videos and called it a night. It was one of the most uneventful Christmas celebration.
So we came home and made sure Santa is taking care of…Merry Christmas everyone!
