Pizzelles

To my horror, I found out that I am running out of sugar (went through about 12 lbs total so far) and butter (that's about 8 lbs worth). So baking was cut short tonight.

Moral: Should check supplies before I head to the grocery store. I was so intent on getting eggnog (and rum...which is what I found out most commonly goes into eggnog. But I don't have nutmeg to sprinkle atop. Again, horrors!)


I cranked out almost 4 dozen pizzelles. Recipe is in the Recipes section. While I did that I worked on decorating the Santa's Cookies I baked on Thursday. To do that, I melted unsweetened chocolate in my double-boiler and dipped the cookies in halfway. Then I sprinkled crushed chocolate candies atop the dipped part. We'll see how they end up.

Finished Santa's Cookies

I also started teaching Max the "Come" command. Hand signal for that will be one finger pointed down at the ground. I used the burnt pizzelles as treats. Aren't I versitile? Did you click on my Courier-Post CookieCam story link yet? ;)
