(Insert a ginormously long, happy sigh here.)
Oh, I how love to bake.
Especially when it's an all out multiple baking jobs kind of time of the year. I tend to make the same treats year after year, even though I save new recipes all the time. (Do you do that too?)
I always, always bake my snowball cookies (Russian Tea Cakes I first knew them as) my old faithful Betty Crocker Cookbook sugar cookies with buttercream frosting, itty bitty white cupcakes, and dipped pretzels. It's my tradition I guess you would say.
Oh, and I love a white on white on white theme, so I then add Trader Joe's chocolate dipped star cookies for that nice splash of color depth. (Okay, now I sound a little nutty.)
Anyway.
I am pretty much in my full glory when I have a baking day like this. No out-and-about-commitments on my calendar (Helllllllll-lo, it's the pandemic, after all.) and it's Saturday. (I don't worry about housework on weekends.) It's going on 2:00 in the afternoon, and I am still in my pajammies and robe, baking, and hummimg off key, and totally enjoying every single second of it all. It's a Traceyville day here, for sure.
What about you? Do you do holiday baking this time of year? How are you spending your first Saturday in December?
