better with sprinkles

Butter + Flour + Sugar + Sprinkles = Love

If you know me, then you know that I love any and all kinds of desserts. I truly live a sweet life. The only thing I love more than dessert is when someone else makes it for me. Food ALWAYS tastes better when someone makes it for you. All the glory, none of the cleanup!

Welcome, Shortbread Cookies. I hungrily open my arms to you and soon my mouth too!

These cookies arrived via my son in honor of my 40th birthday. (I know your mouth is gaping wide open as you are doing crazy math thinking, "How can that be?") Yes, I cried just a little on the inside too. They were so beautiful. They tasted like Heaven and they now reside somewhere on my hips...and I also can't believe that I entered another decade of life. I have to remember to check that weird box on surveys now when they ask my age range. But I digress and there could be worse fates. I could lose all my taste buds and that would be near disastrous. Stick a fork in me; I'm done!

My awesome friend got mine signed

For my Christmas I received some wonderful baking tins and a killer book dedicated to the art of making my mouth water, so this girl is going to be heatin' up her kitchen to produce some delectable masterpieces of her own. One small disclaimer: lots and lots of peanuts will be injured the making of these creations. There is a happy place in my brain that lights up when I eat peanut butter. There is another happy place that lights up when I eat chocolate (I am a woman after all). But when I eat both at the same time: Mind blown.

Cheers, my friends! Here's to whatever sweet adventure comes your way next!
