Two days' worth....sorry.

Whoa. I can't believe tomorrow's friday. I think that can be a good thing.



Here's yesterday and today's cookies. I'm gonna go back to watching movies on Netflix.

Wednesday: Candy Cane Cookies
1 c. margarine
1 1/2 c. sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
3 1/2 c. flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/tsp salt

Cream margarine and add sugar gradually. Beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each add. Stir in extract. Add flour, powder, soda and salt gradually to creamed mixture, stirring in by hand. Cover and chill overnight.
Preheat oven to 350. Take 1/3 of the dough and mix in red dye (I kinda just mush it in). Roll both red and white dough into snakes. Wrap together. Bake on cookies sheets lined with parchment paper 6-8 minutes.
