This has been a busy week! As part of Cookie Mailing Month, I’ve tried out several cookie recipes (my husband is extremely excited about this, as he gets to eat the leftovers). The recipe for the cookies above can be found here: http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1710,149170-249202,00.html

I used butter instead of shortening, and you really only need one tsp of cinnamon, not two, and if you’re going to dye the cookies, like I did, I wouldn’t use cinnamon at all, just sugar. Oh, and do you see any purple or green cookies in the picture? No? That’s because I tried those colors, and it was a disaster. If you plan on trying green and purple, I’d research your food coloring amounts, and really mix the dye in well. Just sayin’….

And tune in soon — I’ve got another post coming about how I chose to ship the cookies. We’ll see which method works best.
