A perfect Snowy Sunday

I had Mary France's Cherry Snowball cookies done by 8:00 a.m. this morning.
 The beauty of these little melt-in-your-mouth morsels, is what's inside.
 What a perfect cookie for the holidays. Imagine if you made half with green cherries and half with red cherries.
I got 24 cookies from the recipe, so I must have made them bigger than I should have. I would not suggest making them as big as I did. I think Mary-Frances said she gets 36 cookies. That would be a better cherry-to-dough ratio.

I will most definitely make these again. It was fun knowing I was making the same cookies one of my blogging friends had made yesterday. Thanks again for sharing, Mary-Frances.

I also baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies while DH was out shoveling the driveway.  When he came in I cooked a big breakfast, cleaned up the kitchen (for the third time), then turned on the family channel and watched a sappy Christmas movie while I tried to figure out how to make this gift wrapped in dull gold paper look nice.


I will show you how it turned out tomorrow.  I can't believe it's only noon! There is still a lot of the day left and I don't intend to waste a second of it!

    Zoey, you are a whirlwind girl! What a great idea, red and green cherries for the cookies. Can't wait to see what else you get up to today!

    I think I will keep these cookies in mind. They are a lot like Russian teacakes. Yum!
    I also like to bake when it's cold outside. No snow here yet.

    Cookies look pretty, but I won't be making them, I don't like those cherries.
    I am so far behind in blog reading.
    I will try to get your blueberry french toast recipe for you.
