I’M BACK!! YEAH!! What a long weekend without my computer! 😀
This post is dedicated to friendship. Particularly to my dearest friend: Kris
I’m not too fond of this pic of me, but I love it that it’s a great pic of us, me and my bestie.
I went on a girlfriends getaway with her and my other dear friend, Cindy, and several other great ladies from CCC. It was a wonderful weekend of reconnecting and cementing our friendships. Me, being, well me….I brought Gooey Cinnamon Rolls to share. Kris, being Kris, brought goody bags for those of us sharing a room. My goody bag contained dark chocolate, awesome shiny lip gloss, pretty smelling body wash, a cute new drinking glass, and these adorable socks:
Last week was a very long, difficult week for my bestie. And well, since she’s my bestie, I won’t go into details. But you can read for yourself on her blog.
And this brings me to today. She loves, loves, loves Thumbprint Cookies. So to cheer her up, I made them and drove allllllll the way out to her house in the boonies and surprised her with a bunch of these.
Thumbprint Cookies
- 1 c butter (no substitutes)
- 1/2 c powder sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 1/4 c flour
- 1 c chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and flour. Mix in pecans. Roll into balls and push down with thumb. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until set but not brown. Fill with favorite frosting.
It was worth it to see her smile and get a hug from her. That’s what friends do. Bring a smile. Lend an ear. Share a burden. Wipe a tear (or two or three or 20). Make them something with butter & powder sugar and flour and pecans and almond flavored frosting.
I love you, Kris!
