After a dinner of 5-cheese ravioli, sweet Italian sausage and a salad of mixed greens, me and the Mrs. spent 2 hours making cut-out sugar cookies. What a lot of work these puppies were. I made the dough and cut out all the cookies while she iced and decorated them.

This afternoon we also made snowballs, Danish sugar cookies and peanut butter blossoms.

Wife made whoopi pies and chocolate chip cookies and they seem to have disappeared. She took a bunch along to the spay/neuter clinic and I gave some to the Amish boy that helped me with the freezer. Those kids amaze me how they can eat goodies. They like my wife's baking as she makes different things they don't get at home.

lol, I also tried something different- I used a dinner roll recipe for it ( 2 eggs, 2 cups milk, 1.5 sticks of butter, 1/2c of sugar, 1tbs salt, 1 pkg yeast, 8c flour )

it's a pretty soft dough to work with

WOW!!! The foodies are in the spirit today.:clap::clap: The cinnamon rolls look delicious, Shep, and I'll bet they taste great with the blackstrap molasses. You dough is close to mine, but you use a bit more butter than I do...like 3x as much!:w00t2:

Cinnamon Rolls

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup milk (110 degrees F.)
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F.)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
2 eggs, room temperature and beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
5 cups bread flour
3 teaspoons instant active dry yeast


Cowboy, I haven't had cinnamon candy like that since I was a kid in the 60's when my grandmother made it. Sure brings back a lot of good memories. Oh, and the oatmeal cookies are my favorite. I love to dunk them in icy cold milk.

Hey Dave Nay! I used almond extract in the spritz cookies we made today. Outstanding flavor!
