Last night we decided to make cookies as a family. We decided on the Greek butter cookie called Koulourakia (thank Grannie Annie), ritz with peanut butter in the middle dipped in chocolate (thanks Natalie)and candied cranberries (thanks Natalie). I decided to finally use my KitchenAid Stand Mixer after about 7 years of owning it (thanks mom). I think I have been intimidated by it but I loved it. With the Koulourakia cookies you have to mix the butter for 15 minutes and who wants to do that with a hand mixer, not me. Go KitchenAid! Those cookies turned out yummy. I did the prep work (mostly the mixer) and Andre rolled them into the cookies. The kids got to do their own special ones too. Then on to the candied cranberries. I obviously need to have Natalie show me how to do these because mine are NOT good where as Natalie's you could eat all day. Next came the ritz. Andre and I prepped and then he dipped. We had so much fun. We now have a bunch to take to Na's tonight for our white elephant gift exchange with the fam. WE also will have plenty of cookies to leave out for Santa.

We actually have to thank my father-in-law for the crackers/peanut butter/chocolate masterpieces (he shared with me, I shared with Natalie, which he is currently making in my kitchen AT THIS MOMENT. I can hardly wait for them to dry! It looks like you guys had a blast! :)
