I have been in the mood to bake lately. I am not overly fond of cooking, but I do like to bake. One of my jobs oh so many years ago was making and decorating cookies! For the last few years I have not wanted to do much in the way of holiday baking, but this year I feel like pulling out the cookie sheets and trying out some new recipes. Recently I bought this Martha Stewart magazine on holiday cookies. Say what you like about Martha, but the woman can bake (and cook)! I like all the fancy boxes and tins she put together with cookies on the inside and bows on the outside. Maybe this year I will do the same for my friends. Later in the week I plan on making chocolate truffle brownies for Thanksgiving (don't worry we will also have the traditional pumpkin pie, too!). Yum.
Martha always makes me feel so inadequate, although I've never even been accused of a crime, so Take That, Martha!
I love the Mrs. Fields cookie recipe book. It's got lots of recipes and pictures to see what the finished product should look like.

I saw this book and it is lovely, with great recipes and as always great photos.

Thanks for the heads up on this! I watch her show when it is on & didn't know about these cookie recipes.
WOOT!
