AB FAB!!!

WELL, the class was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! Everyone one of you was fantastic to meet! Each did a beautiful job on the cookies! And I feel we all learned a LOT from all the SUPER discussions we had! (In fact, happily, we gabbed much more than I ever would have dreamed! Beautiful!)

All filled their adorable tins in their own gorgeous way... and I think we know the theme of the class now... flavor-wise at least!

Chocolate ORANGE !

Am I RIGHT?? And we'll not tell our secret ingredient, will we? ; D

I hope to post more soon... (perhaps pictures from the class with your permission? I was too busy rolling to take many, but hope that A. will send me some to add to mine!)

I should probably wait for a nod from each of you before giving you a mention... but I am pleased as PUNCH to have had each of you in my class!

And could not have done it without you! (Especially my dear dear friend and assistant, S.!)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

&

Happy Cookies!

COOKIE EXCHANGE BAKE & TAKE UPDATE #1



GLUTEN FREE HOLIDAY
It's not a holiday from being gluten free... but it SURE TASTES LIKE IT!

WELL, It's Getting Quite Heavenly Around Here...!

As I'm revisiting my cookie recipes, some old favorites, some delightfully new, in REAL TIME... (REAL YUM, is more like it) I'm getting VERY EXCITED!!

One week and counting down! To cinnamon, chocolate, lemon, orange, ginger... SWEET HOLIDAY HEAVEN!

I can't wait to share these cookies with all of you!!

Originally, to serve the broadest number of people, I was going to do all the varieties without nuts. However, that may not be necessary.

If you are signed up to come, or plan to come (YES! THERE IS STILL ROOM AVAILABLE!) please let me know, by phone or here on the blog;

1. Do you (or the person you are baking for) need all your selections to be nut free?

2. Seed free? (as in poppy seeds, sunflower seeds, etc.)

3. Coconut free? If you can't have coconut, either milk or shredded, let me know!

I'm sorry-- I got distracted for a minute... it smells REALLY GOOD IN HERE! And now my testers are circling, a bit like sharks, to be honest. ;P



STAY TUNED FOR MORE UPDATES!

AND PICTURES TO TEMPT YOU, TOO! :D
