I just put Russian Tea Cakes in the oven
This is my first time ever baking these! I'm so excited, and a little nervous. :D

Holiday baking is the best!

2. I'll be over in an hour.
You DO intend to share with the Lounge, don't you? It's in the spirit of the season after all...

Our Russian teacakes are slated for tomorrow's baking. I can hardly wait.:9

7. Thanks -- I'll enjoy them vicariously
when the spouse makes his special batch tomorrow!

Cal Peggy is almost close enough to stop by, if she's able to fly to Oakland...

15. Me, too!
They are so much better than store bought cookies, even the ones in the bakery section with the donuts. Nothing beats home made cookies! :D.
Happy Holidays!

16. I call 'em Sand Tarts.
Same recipe, though. They're yummy, and I like your name better.
