| Me Making Sugar Cookies |
Andrew and I are very grateful to our host mom for letting us make a bunch of cookies in her kitchen. She was quite happy to provide the space, provided that we share the results with her!
Andrew and I each have family recipes that date back several generations that we are quite happy to make each year. It just didn't feel like Christmas without them! I made Scottish shortbread and Sugar Cookies. Andrew made French Sour Cream Cookies.

All the recipes called for softened butter. Usually at home for Christmas baking that requires us to put the butter on a heat register or in the microwave. Here though, I just tossed it in a metal bowl and set it outside for a few minutes. Christmas baking in summer certainly has a few advantages! The Sour Cream cookies usually have a few lumps of butter, but it was very smooth this time.
We haven't managed to find any eggnog in New Zealand, so Andrew found a recipe that sounded good and tried making it. It actually turned out really well! We are looking forward to introducing our host and her family to eggnog for the first time so we are quite glad that it turned out.
Now it is time to go enjoy the treats!
