Last night we did something special. We made Not Sugar Cookies for Granny. I found a recipe for Splenda cookies and we made a batch. They were delicious if labor-intensive, and Dennis had a great time 'helping' Daddy roll out dough. He loved cutting shapes and putting the shapes on the cookie sheet. I am surprised at how delicious the cookies turned out! I wanted to decorate them and tried coloring Splenda with food coloring (not a good plan) and instead made a 'glaze' out of Splenda and water and food coloring and 'painted' the colors on the cookies with a paintbrush. I also sprinkled some Splenda on top of them for added sweetness and they were perfect. I learned that you shouldn't store Splenda cookies in an airtight container, though, or they will get soggy (the glaze and topping Splenda kind of melts--don't know why). Strange.
Today we went shopping in the rain with Allison. Dennis was kind of bad today despite repeated warnings, running around like a madman, and I threatened to call Santa. This worked a bit but not as good as I would have liked. He endured it, though, and we endured whining as we left every store. We got a report from Granny that she loved her cookies and the 'recycled' books I sent her way. Will be making more cookies before our Christmas party so that everyone else can benefit from Diet Cookies!
