A Little Baking

After not being able to lift my head for 3 days with out splitting pain I finally felt like I belonged to the land of the living yesterday.  So I did the baking I had intended to do Friday and Saturday for the party I wound up canceling do to said pain.  The recipes are in the December issue of Food Network Magazine.

Chocolate Dipped Macaroons

The Macaroons are supper yummy, I mean coconut and chocolate, all it needs is some Carmel and it would be just like one of my favorite Girl Scout cookies, hum I may have to try that out sometime.........

I did leave off the crystal sugar that the recipe called for.  We generally buy sugar in the raw, not the white table sugar, for holiday baking I bought one bag of white sugar but I did not feel like looking for or spending money on white sugar crystals.  By the way the recipe if you want to look for it is Snow Capped Macaroons.

Double Chocolate Crinkles

Double Chocolate cookies are simply one of my favorite cookies, this is the fist time I have made them.  They were good fresh but now the next day seem to be a little dry.
