Snickerpoodles?

Christmas is a time of year that fosters the need for baking. I'm not much of a baker myself, so many of my attempts are as basic as possible. We're going to a friend's cookie exchange party on Monday night that requires me to make seven dozen cookies, so I needed an easy recipe. Neil and I both love snickerdoodles and I was so happy to discover their simplicity and frugality (because I'm cheap).

Neil helped me make the dough and together we assembly-lined five big batches of it. I quality-tested each one, you can rest assured. The doughs are chilling in the fridge tonight and will be baked tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait!

We also have to bring copies of the cookie recipe to share with everyone at the party. I retyped the recipe into InDesign and included a screen shot of the nutritional value from the website I stole the recipe from (ssshhh). I organized them two on a page, created a PDF and sent it to Neil asking him to print some copies for me.

He comes home with this:

My husband sure is Mr. Crafty. I love it. Takes a lot of the pressure off of me to be creative all the time. I have always admired his ability to go above and beyond in everything he sets his mind to. Even a task as simple as printing copies of a recipe is no exception.

It was a fun night to spend together, baking and laughing. I love these moments.
