Cookie Time

Cookie Magic
by Mary Ann Hoberman

Cookie cutters
Cutting cookies
Cutting different
Shapes and sizes
First you make them
Next you bake them
Then you take them
And you cool them
And...
That's weird.
They've disappeared!

Thumbprint Cookies
Beat together 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 egg yolk, and 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Stir in one cup of flour. Cover and chill until firm to handle. Using 1 Tbsp. for each, shape dough into balls. Gently press thumb into the center of each ball and fill with about 1/2 tsp. of preserves (any flavor). Bake at 350 degrees until lightly browned (12-15 minutes).

That precious little thumb pressed into those cookies? Priceless! So sweet I'd think you don't need jam. :-)

So good to see you with communication and, yes, many thanks to Andy for helping you remain connected with loved ones far away.

Question: how does someone travel to where you are from the U.S.? Is it ridiculously expensive?

Jason and I are wondering...

Love,

Kayla
