cwilson and I made Christmas cookies yesterday. Mmm!

At one point my electric mixer produced a Bad Electrical Smell. I took it apart to make sure nothing critical was melted; fortunately all insulation was in place and it just needed some serious cooling-off time. I kneaded in the last cup of flour by hand. I found I enjoyed working the dough with my hands. I'll do it that way more often, I think.

Some of the cookies are already decorated. Others, baked by Chris after I had to go home, now await frosting. I love love love my frosting recipe. Mmmm. I am eager to taste those frosted cookies.

(Mittens? Yes? I can smell your spicy cookies.)

To be honest, my favorite is opera. Nice, loud, Marriage of Figaro, singing Cheribino off to war in Italian I don't understand.
