AN OLD HAND TAKES OVER

 The Taylor Family Bakery was humming again today but with a difference.

The Master was back.

The Holiday Season that comes around toward the end of the year seems to bring out the Gingerbread Lady complex in my mate.

And today she was knee arm deep in cookie dough.

Proof:

Drop Sugar Cookies. WITH SPRINKLES!

And she didn't drop a one, except the one she dropped in my puppy-dog-expectant outstretched hand.

But that's not all.

She also made a batch of her famous Five C. cookies.

Now if you're familiar with Arizona I know you're thinking "Hmmm, 5 C's? That must be copper, cattle, cotton, citrus and climate."

But no!

These five c's stand for Chewy Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies!

Stop yelling at me, I didn't name them.

And they're delicious and addictive.

Just to let you know that I'm still in the game, once SWMBO left the kitchen, I moved in and produced a couple of loaves of her favorite English muffin bread, which she had told me she was nearly out of.

And tomorrow?

Ah, tomorrow is another day, my friends.

What's cooking baking at your house?
