A month or two ago i was invited to a baby shower for a member of our church. We were required to bring a dish and immediately all sorts of baked goods came to mind. However the thought of something to do with babies won out and i trawled eBay looking for cookies cutters. This is what i found:
Perfect!
I decided to use an unusual but favourite recipe. It is one i found one day when i needed to use some cream cheese up (it was frozen so no good for a cheesecake unfortunately). Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies. It’s really hard to describe them (apart from being delicious!). They are kind of like a cross between shortbread and pastry and they aren’t overly sweet but very buttery. You can find the recipe here.
I had a lot of fun making them but i think they look better before they were baked. You can dust with icing sugar for a bit of extra sweetness or decorate even further if you have the inclination!

I’ve just recently heard of cream cheese sugar cookies. I haven’t made or tried them yet. Have you used the butterscotch chips yet? How’s your twinkie supply doing? ~Gina
PS. I have off the next two weeks, don’t need to go back to work until Jan 6 so there will be nights where I don’t need to go to bed, we could skype!

We haven’t used the butterscotch chips yet as we want to make something worthy of them, haha. And we’ve eaten probably two thirds of the Twinkies. I will have to give you an update!
AND YES!!! We should definitely Skype. My family is coming to stay until around NYE so i might not be able to until they’ve left. Anyway I’ll message you and we can keep in contact 🙂 Has your laptop been fixed?

yes, the laptop is back to normal now with a brand spanking new hard drive. I’m so glad I didn’t have to pay for a whole new computer. It runs MUCH better now. We’ll stay in touch and make Skype plans after the new year starts.
