Making Cookies with Martha

James and I got Heather a Martha Stewart Cookies book for Christmas and it is fantastic! Today we made some fancy schmancy cookies with Heather to take to the annual New Years party at Brenda and Jim's tonight.

Cookie #1: Homemade Fortune Cookies
These were almost more effort than they were worth, but they turned out pretty tasty. James and Heather made up the fortunes we put inside. James' favorite ones were 1. "Lucky Numbers: (then it listed the lucky (?) numbers from the LOST TV show)" and 2. "Squidward loves you." My favorite was the one that said "you'll be rich...if you don't work at Lagoon."
Cookie #2: Stained Glass Cookies
These cookies include taking a hard candy and breaking it into small pieces (we used Jolly Ranchers), and placing them into a cut out section of the cut out cookie. James was in charge of these cookies and enjoyed smashing the candies and placing them in the middle of each cookie to bake.
Now that I've had my official Martha Stewart moment(s), I can say the year is truly complete! (Ha, ha.)
