for the warm welcome .. so appreciated
DOGS .. I have 3 .. West Highland White Terriers (Westies) .. and .. I am 'chief cookie maker' .. and, have just found a GREAT recipe
Easy Peasy .. lemon squeezy'
2 eggs .. beaten
3/4 cup of Pumpkin puree (I use sweet potato puree)
3 tbsps. (and a bit) of peanut butter
2 tbsps. powdered milk (optional)
3 cups of whole wheat flour .. you could use rice flour or all purpose
Beat the eggs (I uses fork)
Add the pumpkin or sweet potato ....... mix well ..
Add the flour a cup at a time and make a dough ball
Flour your table top and roll out the dough .. I break it in half, it's easier
Roll out til it's a 1/2 to a 1/4 inch think .. the thinner the crunchier ..
Cut out with a cookie cutter ... I use a plastic medication cup LoL and, I get about 8 dozen+ round/oval cookies
The dogs love them
350 x 22 minutes .. parchment paper on the cookie sheets ..
Anyway .. I figger I almost have a handle on Christmas .. famous last words
As some of you do NOT know .. I am Mom to one son, Murray .. long story short, he is married to my arch nemesis .. we are like oil and water, and at this present time .. my ties with him and his family (2 grandkids, Brooklyn 17, and, Austin 14) are bent and gnarled, and, Christmas is going to be quiet and rough.
I also 'care' for a childhood friend, my BFF, Lorna .. Lorna had a blood clot in her left ankle in 2007, and, had to have her left leg amputated .. it has been a long road back, but, as those here that know the story of the story .. she is working .. the head gardener at a large local cemetery, and, last year won them a first place award for Civic Beautification ..
An inspiration for sure ..
Anyway .. thanks again for the wonderful welcome ..
Hugs all around
