Cookie Project Part 2: "Scrooged is supposed to be a comedy?!"

Today's cookies, coming from the December 2008 issue of Bon Appetit magazine, are Cinnamon Pecan Shortbread.

Some of the reviews were not so great on these, but once I had my finished product, I was convinced that whoever wrote the reviews a) does not know how to follow directions (cookies did NOT spread, nor did they crumble, per A Cook's review b)is a bag of hot air ("high investment, low return"?!?!?! Seriously...what did you invest in?! It's butter, sugar, and flour. Who doesn't have this crap in their pantry???) c)is a Christmas beast monster. (How can you not love pie crust?!)

Anyway, I was pleased with the result. These were really easy, and I didn't actually have to buy anything except for the pecans (which were on sale anyway).



My holiday programming was 'Scrooged' with Billy Murray. I was not amused or impressed, and I will leave it at that.

Because I was pretty lazy and unproductive yesterday, I decided that I was also going to make marshmallows today. I made them last year for Christmas, and they are incredibly easy, and not they're also not labor intensive. And they're also kind of fun. These are just regular vanilla marshmallows, but I think when I do my actually Christmas baking stuff next weekend, I'm going to make some mint ones as well.
