Soft Pretzels
Cookies for Santa
Cookies for Family and Friends
We baked pretzels because we were studying Germany during the month of December. The boys shaped them and then later came up with ideas of what they looked like- a spaceship, an acorn, a face, to name a few.
We baked sugar cookies using the cutters I grew up with as a child. The boys accidentally used bread flour instead of all purpose. We decided it was a good opportunity to experiment. We made another batch using all purpose flour. The bread flour cookies were darker, took longer to bake and were a little more dense with a slightly wheaty taste. The all purpose cookies were lighter, darkened at the tips, and the vanilla flavor more prominent. I liked the traditional recipe better but I don't think many people would even tell the difference unless you told them.
