Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? . . . No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
~Romans 8:35, 38-39

Christmas cookies

This year I have given up on making decorated sugar cookies. For one, I'm just too lazy to roll out dough and then use cookie cutters. For two, Josiah can't have colored sugar or sprinkles and the naturally colored ones are really expensive. So, this year I decided to make some cookies that the boys could help with but do not require colored sprinkles. Here are what we have made so far.

These were a big hit!! I used natural candy canes, organic shortening, and white whole wheat flour.

I used the Toll House recipe for pan cookies and substituted carob chips since Josiah can't have chocolate. I also substituted white whole wheat flour for the all purpose flour.

This is a family recipe that I remember doing when I was a child. This recipe is similar to my grandmother's. The difference is we roll the cookies in cinnamon and sugar! I also used organic shortening and white whole wheat flour.

Once again, I cannot believe how big your children are getting, especially Josiah! I laughed about Caleb as your Christmas surprise...Mom & dad had about 3 days to prepare for my brother (they had already gotten rid of most of my baby things thinking I was it), luckily they weren't trying to prepare for Christmas as well.

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a very blessed new year! :)
