Holiday Treats

I brought home some new cookie cutters from my recent trip and decided to try them out...

I figured if I did not use them in baking they would be pretty hanging from the tree!

My mother used to left over pie crust and make us these Shortening Bread cookies...mine have maple syrup and brown sugar filling with maple icing on the outside...

This is that Kitchen Conservation I talk about...when you need something for dinner tonight, but have a party to attend tomorrow...turn it around and get creative...

Chipotle Sweet Potato Pie Bites with maple icing on top...sweet but they got a kick!

My friend Gen today sent me home with these beauties...Sugar Cookies...YUM! Thanks girlie, and I look forward to more game day dinners with you four!
