Playful Penguins visit the Virtual Cookie Exchange Blog Hop

We have made it to December in this crazy year.
I think that calls for a celebration for sure, and I can't think of a better way than making cookies...
Lots and lots of cookies. Calories be darned. We all deserve a break after all the drama, this year held.
I've got a recipe that will make many many cookies and all kinds too...but
before I share it with you, I want to show you my Christmas quilt for 2020.
Penguin Parade. 
These bright and cheery little guys are easy to do with the "Crafters Edge" Playful Penguin die, 
The face and tummy is one piece, but I wanted my penguins to celebrate the season with my holiday prints. So with a little magic, and creative cutting, we have Christmas penguins.
Simply layer a face and a tummy piece and run through your cutter.
The scarf hides it all. How fun is that!
Are you terrified of mitered corners? Well check out this Missouri Star tutorial
I promise, you will never be scared again.
This "waddle" of penguins even got out to play, in our 8" of snow.
Ahhhhh...penguin paradise!

Now for my cookies...

I love this "Can Do" recipe, because the basic dough, gives you 7 different cookies.
Peanut butter is my favorite, but hubby loves the cinnamon balls and pecan refrigerator cookies.

This is what all the different varieties look like. Yes, that's 4 batches of dough.
Let just say, my Christmas baking is done for this year!
LOL!!





You can choose to right click on each page and save, or download the recipe, 
minus the fancy holiday designs 
Choices choices
LOL!!
A big round of applause to our fearless cookie monster...Carol.
It just wouldn't be Christmas if she wasn't tempting us with those delightful cookies!
Thank you Miss Carol... from the bottom of my hips and thighs!
Make sure you visit my blogging buddies. They all have delicious morsels to share, as well.

  9. "From the bottom of my hips and thighs" LOL LOL LOL I usually gain an extra 10-20 pounds just looking at all the yummies. That quilt is just the cutest and I have that die so maybe it should go on my extensive to-do list. Love it! A cookie recipe that can be as versatile as this one is a winner in my book. Thank you for sharing all this Christmas joy with us! xo

  19. Hi Joan! Oh, your waddle of penguins turned out so cute, and how appropriate that it snowed for this finish. I've never heard of a recipe that makes seven different kinds of cookies. How cool is that?!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. This is my favorite hop of the year - Carol does a great job getting all of us hoppers together - and you do as well. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
