Today is the first Monday in December therefore the Bassett sisters get together and make Christmas plates.
Last year it was only Karla and myself. It was terrible. NOTHING turned out and it took literally FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This year there was Sarah, Janelle, Karla and myself. It zoomed by! And everything was delicious! Of course I volunteered for quality control. Karla started right away with the chocolate, chocolate chip and mint chip cookies (it was just one cookie). Nell started with pretzels.... the dreaded pretzels. Sarah made butter mints-oh my goodness good! And I got stuck stirring caramels.
I made 2 batches of caramels. The first was okay but the second was WAY too soft. Sorry people...
When nearly everything was made when I pulled out a recipe I got from my mother-in-law for Whipped Shortbread.
So so good cookies. So while Sassy and Nell plugged away at their never ending tasks Kar and I whipped up some shortbread cookies.
They were beautiful.
We made 45 plates total. It was a great day.
And I had all my plates delivered by 7pm.
It must be a record!
