Christmas tree

Is it just me, or is it so busy this time of year that it seems you just can't get it all done? I mean is it really possible? My laundry says it isn't. 

With five kids y'all know I have my fair share of laundry, but geez I think it's taken over. If I had someone to just come and do my laundry I'd have it made. Any takers? 

I'll make you lots of cookies? 

No???

Ok, I understand. I don't blame you. Guess I'm stuck doing my own laundry......or staring at it from my cookie room.  I'll just keep baking, never to look up at the clothes needing to be folded so bad.

Well no Christmas would be complete without a tree. Y'all have your tree up yet? For those who procrastinate.....let's get with it and get it up. We only have eleven days left.

I really can't talk, my lights still aren't up. Nope, they are untangled and ready to go up outside, but my husband hasn't gotten to them yet.  PROCRASTINATOR! Yep that's him. 

Well I made some Christmas tree cookies and thought it just wasn't complete without some presents. Totally simple to make. 

Sorry for the lack of tutorial.......my laundry is calling me. I'll have a good tutorial for you guys soon to make up for it ok?

I knew y'all would understand. Hope everyone has a great day......and get your laundry folded. 

White Chocolate Chip cookies

It doesn't get much better than this. I am not a sugar cookie person. That's right, I decorate them but do not eat them. I don't really care for them at all. But, I love to decorate them. 

My weakness is WHITE CHOCOLATE....oh yeah, that's the good stuff.  I love white chocolate chip cookies. They are one of my favorites. Just plain simple goodness. 

They are so good. Nice and warm, fresh out the oven with a nice cup of coffee. 

Can you smell them? 

I wish you could. We could sit down with a warm cup of coffee, eat some white chocolate chip cookies and talk about cookie cutters and heels. Sound good?

I could use the company. 

Ok, Ok.....well you may not be able to come have cookies and coffee with me because I can't be giving out my address and all. Y'all know how many creepers they have out there? 

Lots!

So we can share cookies and coffee via bloggerville. Sound good? Hey, it's safer like this. 

Well if we are going to do this I'm going to have to give you my recipe right? 

Right.

There are many versions out there I'm sure, but this is the one I've altered to my taste. I use all pure ingredients and use good chocolate. It really does make a difference that you can taste.
