I finished a few hours ago and got distracted by the mess I had to clean up. Pizzelles!! I did one batch with anise for us OGs and another with just vanilla for the non-Italian-Americans.
Ran out of steam so I’ll decorate the gingerbread and post the final plate tomorrow!

Hm. This second batch of lemon crinkles spread a lot, even though I chilled them for a few hours. Oh well. The decent ones will make the cookie plate. The others will be for us. 😊 #cookieparty

Peanut butter blossoms. If eating dough wasn’t verboten I’d tell you the dough is very peanut buttery but crumbly. #cookieparty

Lemon crinkle dough in the fridge to chill! If it wasn’t verboten to eat raw cookie dough I’d probably tell you it’s very smooth and lemony.
I’m baking the sugar cookie dough - I premade that and froze it in balls.

Bought this as well and wasn’t a fan even though my bar for soda is very low. It’s extremely bubbly but tastes like a cough drop.
It may be better in its sugared version.
