thumbprints.

hey neighbors,
more treat pictures are headed towards your eyes right now.
i'm really almost sorry, sorta,
that it's been a bakery-activated
and sugar-filled weeklong adventure in oven-heated creativity.
i mean,
i could be doing all kinds of other other things,
but instead i'm getting fresh in front of that stovetop,
stirring sh!t up and mixing in secret ingredients.
yes.
it's all made up.
yes.
it's all from scratch.
yes.
i'm writing down what i do, so someday you can make this stuff too.
you're welcome.

buttery short-styled-bread cookie circles are what's up.
that's a thing.
i added oatmeal, and coconut, and brown sugar to mine,
just to take it to eleven,
and keep it expert,
at the same time.
my own unique thumbrint to make thumbprint cookies my own.
and it worked out pretty damned well, too, kids-
check the checkerboard-type teleport:

yuuuuuuup.
chocolate and peanut buttery powdered sugar and vanilla goobieblops,
custom-blended, and pressed into the divots,
just to activatea little bit more of the dopeness for your face.
and duders?
they're so flippin' good.
like,
melty and crunchy and gooey and buttery-ish and chewy.
all the textures, all the time.
hmmm?
oh, right-
don't even try to front like you DON'T like that double drizzle.
word up.
regular vanilla-style icing,
and a crosshatch of chocolate-type drizz' too.
expert means doing extra every single time.
that's it.
***********
it's snowing,
and snow magic is good for you.
big crocodile teardrops of billowy white flakes,
falling down so softly,
and coating every single thing in perfect silence.
shh.
if you listen closely,
the tiny tinkling sound of ice crystals clinking against each is other
is barely audible.
the littlest noise in the most muffled moments is deafening.
and it's delightful.
today is the day,
and it's a good day;
never quiet, never soft.....
