Good to know!<br /><br />Jane2 - I just knew I'd be really mad at myself if I caved at this point.<br /><br />Erin - Well, you know that I, too, completely skipped the whole Christmas cookie thing this year. Did we miss it? I don't think so. But I've gotten the feeling some of the folks I usually give plates to weren't real happy with me!<br /><br />Susan - You can do it, you can do it, you can do it!

YES, you can! :o)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-51831940488344379962011-02-03T09:50:11.201-06:002011-02-03T09:50:11.201-06:00You know, that is a great idea.

It's a perfect night for you to make cookies . . . just think how good it would make the house smell!<br /><br />2 Tramps - I truly didn't have any trouble passing them up but it took a couple good whacks with a wooden spoon to keep my hubby from inhaling several. Good thing I'm stronger than he is! ;o)<br /><br />Lori - That's hubby's line. Whenever I bake something to give away he suggests he really, really should taste just a bit of it to make sure it's "okay."<br /><br />Mama Tea - Oh, GOOD line, good line!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-35369180943346149762011-02-02T19:01:49.705-06:002011-02-02T19:01:49.705-06:00Yum!

Yep, 1/4 tsp of the stuff and without it, the cookies just aren't the same. My hubbie doesn't usually like sugar cookies but he loves these! Maybe I'll have to try the nutmeg this year (like I need to be doing any more baking right now, lol!)fiona@fionacampbell.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455351263890165906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-7389096440476248282011-02-02T18:58:26.849-06:002011-02-02T18:58:26.849-06:00Seriously...I don't know how you can bake stuf...Seriously...I don't know how you can bake stuff like that and not sample it.

But, well, are you sure, like really, really, sure they taste ok? What about quality control?? I think you should taste at least one, just to make sure you didn't replace powder with soda, or salt for sugar. That would be so awful if you were in a rush, and were thinking of something else, and accidentally did something wrong. You still have time to check them for perfect taste. You know, so your family won't suffer any ill harm. Just taste a few for the family, you know??<br />~~LoriDirt Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218959840456660541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-68694260339152360322011-02-02T17:13:20.280-06:002011-02-02T17:13:20.280-06:00Oh, Mama Pea, I am licking my computer screen tryi...Oh, Mama Pea, I am licking my computer screen trying to get a taste! And you didn't even eat one! They are beautiful and my favorite kind of cookie.<br /><br />Of course you could not eat one - the taste would stay on your lips.
