The extra brown sugar makes them so much 'richer'. I plan to take many to work (so I don't eat them)-I will let you know what they say!<br />
<br />
Here is a picture and the recipe.<br />

And, Google didn't let me down. <br />
<br />
Its actually really funny everyone knows I am a CY fan, well I guess GAC did a spot about singers favorite cookies during the holiday season called "GAC 12 Days of Country Cookies" and I actually stubled upon it, and tried it today. I hope I did his mama proud. <br />
<br />
It is very different from my normal recipe. First, you don't need to cut them out, you roll them into a ball, sort of like PB cookies. Second, it calls for Orange extract <em>(which-FYI-I didn't have any...I had to go buy some)</em> And finally, there is no baking soda or powder in them.<br />
<br />
After baking them, they are really good. The finally test will be at work tomorrow-lord knows they love free baked goods but will always give me an honest opinion-Mrs. Harris I hope they love them!<br />
<br />
Here is the <a href="http://www.gactv.com/gac/pac_ctnt/text/0,,GAC_26058_100815,00.html">receipe </a>and a few pictures of my cookies...do they look ok?? (and lucky you even get to see a small video about it<em>-wink wink</em>)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyRiU_kVmZ10VmabhRxrWjIsmJp3yAI_KBIH9WfWTf83yHsgKkhQbQSfPgwefMFsh8IWMBx1viilvGdzxY_ySavZcjryW9x86fnJv5lpatcc2G1BT3ckUeUNT8wemZoAYtIbGXq5HB3NjB/s1600/IMG_3831.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyRiU_kVmZ10VmabhRxrWjIsmJp3yAI_KBIH9WfWTf83yHsgKkhQbQSfPgwefMFsh8IWMBx1viilvGdzxY_ySavZcjryW9x86fnJv5lpatcc2G1BT3ckUeUNT8wemZoAYtIbGXq5HB3NjB/s320/IMG_3831.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>(Also, I changed the frosting, I am guessing (correct me if I am wrong) she actually uses a thicker frosting I made mine more a glaze, the cookie tasted so good I didn't want to take away from it, perhaps next time I will stick with the her call)</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Frosted Christmas Cookies</div><br />
<br />
Time and YieldCook time: 10-12 mins Yield: Varies <br />
<strong>Ingredients</strong><br />

<br />
<strong>Directions</strong><br />
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and 2 cups of the sugar. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each. Combine flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 teaspoon orange extract. Add flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture alternately with the milk to play dough consistency. <br />
<br />
In a small separate bowl, Dip rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into sugar. <br />
<br />
Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. <br />

Have a great day!<br />

How awesome is that! I love cupcakes they are so fun. I have big plans for this party.<br />
<br />
While searching the web I came across a pin the candle on the cupcake, can you say perfect. Well except the price. Sorry I loved it but I wasn't spending $20 on it (I know I am cheap). I have tons of felt left over why not put it to good use.<br />
<br />
It measures about 22x24", its not too big, I made 12 candles with velco on the back so they would stick.<br />
<br />
<br />

If you are not interested in making your own you can purchase it on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pin-the-Candle-on-the-Cupcake-Game-Pastel-Party-Supplies/dp/B001TD2AUU">Amazon.</a><br />

Have fun--and good luck getting it on the top!<br />

I made her a quilt, bed and pillow. I previously posted about the bedding here, today I am going to talk about the bed.<br />
<br />
At our old house I had this skinny tall chair in the bathroom to hold towels, decorative I guess. Anyway when we moved to the new house (3 years ago) I didn't really need it for that purpose anymore. Therefore it sat in the garage until about 2 months ago when I found it a new purpose, life.<br />

I got one from my inlaws for Christmas and I honestly am in L-O-V-E!! I never read anything other than magazines and crafty books, but now...I am on book number 4 since I got it Christmas Eve. Can you believe that! I have found it very hard to figure out what types of books I really like <em>(suggestions are REALLY welcome).</em> So far the ones I have read I really like <em><span style="font-size: x-small;">(another post).</span></em><br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">This post is not to toot Amazon's horn for the Kindle but for what I made and recieved for my new bff. First lets talk about recieved. For Christmas I this really cute vinyl for the back of my kindle:</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Secondly, not only do I share the love of the Kindle but, my besties do to!

All the credit must go to my hubby, he picked it out. <br />
<br />
While searching Livy and I found this tree, I am not sure what happend to it. But can you quess what it reminds me of? Whoville-they always had strange looking trees!<br />

Every year I buy a cardinal ornament in memory of my grandfather, however this year we lost my grandmother, and I am still dealing with that loss. My mom got herself, my sister and me the same ornament. Its just perfect. Its a male and female cardinal-reminds me so much of grandpa and Memo.<br />

I do, I love opening a new box and seeing those perfectly pointy little tips, it truely makes me happy. And to boot I love to color. Whenever the kids want to, I am first in line! It is so relaxing. Seriously!<br />
<br />
Honestly who has 5000 crayons laying around their house most broken and looking a little sad. I say lets help those crayons out! Simple and easy to do:<br />
<br />
Step one: take off all the wrappers (yes this is the most borning part)<br />
<br />
Step two: cute those crayons up into smaller pieces.<br />
<br />
