Look what came in the mail yesterday ~ these surprise precious gifties! My sweet Bella friend Jessi sent them to me. I collect these German glass ornies; how sweet is the little bird house, and you can never have enough of the clip-on birds! I love the feather stamp too ~ it will get lots of use! Thanks sweetie I will treasure them all!
She is hosting a Holiday Cookie Swap today
That's Jessi! Do you remember those play kitchens!? A girl down the street had the whole set and I loved playing with her ~ kitchen envy, still got that ~ lol! Only now I want all white with marble counters and vintage hardware ~ someday!
Here's one of our holiday favorites ~
Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons
I adapted this version from Susan Branch's "Christmas From the Heart of the Home"
2 2/3 cup flake coconut, firmly packed
2/3 cup sugar
To make Susan's original variation: Add 1 more egg white, 1 cup sliced almonds & 1 tsp. almond extract to above recipe.
Preheat oven to 325. In a large bowl combine coconut, sugar & flour with a spoon. Stir in egg whites & vanilla (almonds & almond extract.) Form balls from rounded tablespoonfuls & place 2" apart on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 20 - 25 min. until golden. Remove from pan & cool.
Chocolate ~ Melt in microwave 30 seconds at a time until smooth, stir between each. Dip one edge of each cookie into chocolate and set on wax paper until set. Makes 18 - 24 cookies.
and now a Giveaway!
One lucky winner will get a Holiday Decor Box
See my Lollishop for more details of the kit, and be sure to leave a comment here ~ winner will be drawn and announced one week from today ~ Friday the 12th!
Best of luck!
