Soon i will have time to make those Rachel Ray Everyday pinwheel cookies!! I bought a $4.00 magazine the other day … a real splurge for a student, you know. All because I saw the section on cookies. I can hardly wait. I found out lots of things this old baker didn’t even know about cookies in there. All the neighbors are getting frozen tubes of cookie dough this year. A couple of years ago, friends of ours sold their house to their newly divorced son and moved on out to Sun City. We miss them, but we love their kids, too. On Christmas Eve, I took a few rolls of frozen cookie dough across the street to him with a card and wished him Merry Merry and all.
Later that week he cam over to thank me and he almost teared up when he told me that he’d had the kids for Christmas and having fresh cookies in the oven made everything so great. He wasn’t prepared for his first Christmas on his own and without a woman in the house, you see, and the cookies were actually the only home-cooked food in the house that morning. There was plenty of cereal, hot chocolate, pizza, etc, but the smell of cookies while they opened presents was just what he needed.
Made me feel real good. And it was easy, so this year everyone gets cookie dough. I wrap it in decorated wrap, tie ribbons on the ends and write the baking instructions in the Christmas card.
I think Dave’s family is going to Vegas again this holiday, but I have family this year, so we won’t be kid-less. I’ll get the kids to help me make the cookie dough, and some for us all, too.
to get a vegas hotel this time of year you probably have to have pre-planned.
