Cookies!! Tons of cookies! :)

Thanks for the recipe, Kirsten! I will try those. Btw, I use a vanilla bean, so I'm not sure what the equivalent would be. I didn't win the contest, I only made the winning ones.

Karen, the link you posted looks like what I after, but when I opened it, I had to restart my machine.

I also made some shortbread cookies from a little recipe book I got from Scotland, they are simple, but so yummy.

I know what you mean by "passing machine" Kirsten, but I don't have one. I sometimes borrow one from a neigbor, but I suppose I could just cool them, roll them out and make a different shape.

Sara, the ones your mom made are soo cute!

We call it a "cookie press" - you can also just make drop cookies with them, or take a plastic back, put the dough in, and then just snip off one corner to force the dough out of, you can make wreaths or ribbons that way, I figure you can draw a fairly reliable circle after a few tries - and the ones that don't come out well can be just thrown back in the bag and redone!
