breakfast cookies 8" x 8 " oil on panel

My girls and I baked these snowflake cookies on Christmas eve- they were a lot of fun to decorate, and they are delicious. I am going to swear off all sweets after the first.
Ya right!
 The coffeepot is what we use now to brew our morning java in- with the old school Melita method- as our fancy machine bit the dust last summer.
I actually love the flavor of the drip coffee and don't mind standing over the grounds savoring the smell of the beans as I pour hot water into the cone filter. It takes time, and thats kind of nice.

The "flower" is baked into the cookies. Get it?

I was a bit rushed this morning so there is going to be some "tweaking" tomorrow!
