Five dozen freshly baked cookies

I'm counting down to Christmas with my 12 favorite things; today is day five and I've been making cookies!


 Well, I made one cookie, and the peanut butter squares (no oven required). And hopefully when I finish this blog post I will mix up the dough for ginger bread cookies and then I can bake them tomorrow evening, since the dough requires several hours of refrigeration before it can be rolled.

These are the cookies I made today, the Chocolate Muzzetts. Though this is last years photo, they look the same, haha. (Click through to flickr for the recipe!)

I also did a super fast and simple DIY -- Mustache Gloves! I just cut the stashes out of felt and glued them on to your average pair of $2 Magic Gloves; but the results are all fun and games.

I'm now one week into the No Repeats Challenge; it hasn't been to tough thus far, but it's only been one week! Well, I might even go so far as to say two weeks because I know what I'm wearing through Saturday and weather or not I'll even be getting dressed on Sunday remains to be seen. (The day after Christmas is typically a pajama/movies/leftovers day.)

I can see it being hard to not repeat these pieces for the next few weeks -- skinny jeans, basic grey top, bright blazer and leopard scarf; all very easily remixed.

  1. I don't know what I need more. mustache cookies or gloves. Probably the latter. Adorable DIY!

    I've in the kitchen for hours this holiday. I'm sick of cookies. You're not missing out.

  2. Coincidentally, we had a cookie exchange at my office today, so I baked yesterday & brought home a huge variety of cookies this evening. Good timing on your post ;-)

  9. The mustache gloves are too cute! I just love them. Whimsical, and creative are you, indeed!
    You've got me wishing I had actually baked something this year. Usually, I'm the baker in the family and make nearly 10 different kinds of Christmas cookies. This year? One lonely batch during a cookiefest with friends. I already ate them. My family is going to be so mad when I come home empty handed on Christmas Eve!
    And... I'm glad to see my camera cookies made the cut! (I made them for a Christmas potluck for my camera club. Last year, obviously. Since I'm such a slacker this year! ha)
