Your cookie recipes look like they will taste better than the one I posted.....but not as much fun to make!!
Hermit cookies?!? OMG, I have to try, they are my favorite. My mom makes them also, & it looks like the ingredients are the same - will send some of hers up to you. They are truly delightful!

I want snow balls.
Made the snowballs with kids on Thursday...came out great (easy to make and not much mess)....and the adults used the Countess Bedelia's recipe with Barrilito Gold (made a mess in a different way ... lol) ... Have a great Christmas!
Why don't you post pictures of snowballs and hermits too? I'm not sure what they are.......I'm probably thinking of different snowballs too........
My dear Countess duBarry,
Your blog is starting to resemble Mr. Brian's.....NEVER UPDATED! The cookies have been baked and eaten. It's time to tell us something new.
Your friend,
The Countess Bedelia
