Merry Christmas!!

I'm so happy. I loove the holiday season--it's my favorite time of the year!!

I would love it if it snowed on Christmas this year... (wouldn't everyone?) ...but we'll just have to see!! If it DOES snow I'm hoping it will at least wait until I've got all my gift shopping done!! (picky, picky...) I still have people on my list to shop for!!

I have my tree all set up in the living room. It sparkles so beautifully!! (T_T)

The other day I made some yummy shortbread cookies. Here's the recipe (IT'S NOT MINE!!):
2 cups butter, melted
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 cups flour
Preheat oven to 375.
Stir butter in electric mixer for 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and completely blended. Add sugar, cornstarch, and flour. Whip mixture on low speed for one minute, and on high speed for four minutes. When done it should be creamy and very fluffy.
Roll dough into 2 inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart from each other. Cook for 9-11 minutes. Let cool before removing from cookie sheet because they will be very soft and squishy when the first get out of the oven.
