I am all about living in and enjoying the NOW. And now is the time to make holiday cookies. If you’ve been reading this blog from last year (thank you very much) you will know that there are five cookie recipes that I make every year.
When you do something like this, you’re making memories. Memories during the time you’re making them, to who stopped by for more or hoped some would be left at Eastertime (who are they kidding?), or notes we received after giving some as gifts. This is what life’s all about, isn’t it? Create the great times, which in turn create the memories.
This weekend we have guests, our dear friends Carl and Roger, and I’m hoping to enlist them in rolling cognac balls in sugar and helping with the Hello Dolly Squares. (I know, such a silly name!)
I hope you make some memories this weekend too!

Looks yummy… please send link to your post last year, if your recipes are there. Thanks. 🙂
The links will be up on Monday. In the meantime, please go to the recipe tab at the top and you will find them there.
Thanks! I like your recipes, because they are clear and easy to make. 🙂
Thank you!! I’m glad they’re clear and easy – that’s my aim!
Yu um!
These look great!
They are! Thanks!!
Your pictures are SO beautiful! What a treat to take a look. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I like your writing!
How funny that we both made Hello Dolly bars. LOL! I’m posting another “treat” on tomorrow’s post – they are super easy and are like a grown up version of Rice Krispie Treats. Hope you ck it out. Thanks for stopping by our blog today.
A nice little post you did here, and not just about cookies. But about making memories stemming out of great moments. I liked that. And moments like that are never easier than baking Christmas cookies for people you love.
You do good stuff here, Mary Frances! Carry on!
Thanks!! I like your blog as well. We love to grill all year round. Will do some salmon tonight on a snow filled deck.
Very nice. Good to hear that so many people grill the year round. Why stop! Grilled salmon is excellent. Have you ever tried grilling your fish on cedar planks? It’s pretty good!
I like that – my husband hates the cedar planks – he’s not a big smoke fan. : (
