Done Baking-Now I gotta clean up my mess

LIAngel

My feet are killing me!  I made Whoopie Pies, little mini cherry cheesecake cupcakes and Citrus Sugar Balls for Xmas Eve dessert.   I hope they taste good.  I made 2 extra whoopie pies and 2 extra sugar balls (so DH and I can have 1 of each-since I know he will be eyeing them until Wed,)

Now I gotta clean up and start dinner.  DH is getting home around 7:30, so his dinner will be leftovers from yesterday-I just gotta make a little thing of egg noodles to go with.

I am pooped!  Okay I gotta get up and clean up.

tell me about the citrus sugar balls...

 

I made 8 dozen cookie press sugar cookies, 72 7 layer bars and 8 dozen choc chip, I am going to make choc pillows and then I think I am done. First I have to wake Ethan (he is on his 3rd nap today) and we will play for a while, I will go back to baking later.

The citrus sugar balls are.  1 tube of sugar cookie dough, 1 tbsp grated lemon rind, 1 T grated lime rind, 1 tsp orange extract, 1/2 cup flour.   You knead the dough with all the ingredients. Then you shape them into balls and then roll them in red and/or green colored sugar.   Bake at 350 for 12 minutes. makes 24.   They do come out flat though like cookies (not balls)
