love, eliza

i was all excited that i had time to post and now i am just sitting here trying to think about a topic to blog about. i could tell you about my day, but that would be very boring. we went to Friendly's for lunch. it was okay :/ now we are just sitting around the house being bum's. i can't believe that tomorrow is Christmas Day. we are going to the Christmas Eve service at church and then to my gramma's house. i am looking at my email and realsimple sent me the "prettiest cookie ever". it looks pretty good.





Lace Cookies

Makes 36 cookies Hands-On Time: 10m Total Time: 1hr 00m Note: Total time includes cooling time

Heat oven to 375° F.
In a medium saucepan, heat the butter, sugars, corn syrup, and salt over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat and mix in the flour and almonds just until incorporated.
Drop level teaspoons of the batter onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 4 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
Cool on the baking sheets until firm, 8 to 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
