Baking for the holidays

The end of the semester and the beginning of the holiday season has left me little time to blog -- sorry! I have been doing some knitting and crocheting, but as this has been all gift-related, I can't show you anything until after they have been received. But I can show you this:

Spritz cookies -- recipe straight from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook -- just like Mama used to make!


And classic shortbread using the recipe that came with the super-cute shortbread pan.


There will probably be more shortbread on Christmas Eve. I forgot how simple it is!

Hope your Holiday prep is going well!
