Re: More Christmas baking

It is another cold miserable day here, so a good day for baking. I am
making two batches of shortbread cookies. The first tray managed to get
a little over cooked. I had suspicions about the time because I had put
the tray in as soon as I had rolled out the dough and cut the cookies.
Then I rolled out the second half of that batch of dough and when that
was done I go out the second batch of dough. I set those three trays to
the side and looked at my timer and was surprised to see 17 minutes to
go. No way I did all that work in less than 4 minutes but I really had
no idea how many minutes to knock off.  They are a little too brown, but
the one I sampled was pretty good. The second tray looks much better
after coming out at 20 minutes.

  i usually eat all the dark ones that Mom doesn't want to
give to anyone else.
