Suffice it to say I was elbow deep in cookies today when I remembered I was going to show my efforts. Someone I know had asked for gingerbread cookies and I found a spritz recipe for them so decided to give it a go. Now I remember why the cookie press had been relegated to a cupboard. Those little devils didn't want to come out for anythihg! Most of them ended up looking like blobs but here you see just a few camels and Christmas trees. It will be a while before I do this again!
No wonder I stick with chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal and shortbread. I can’t ever get them out of the mold either. I think these in the photo look good though.
They don't look bad Katy, I am sure they taste better than they look though! Long ago we used to bake an awful amount of cookies when the girls were still at home Christmas time. I found that only the consistency of the dough was the problem with them not coming out.
I have an electric one of those somewhere .... I remember old times and having christmas cookie exchanges ... so many homemade cookies. Oh the calorie intake was inconceivable .
