It's my day for the Virtual Cookie Exchange...welcome, welcome, welcome!
So many amazing recipes, quilts, and traditions the last few days.
Thanks everybody for sharing and visiting!
It's had been a tradition in my family to open presents on Christmas morning before eating
breakfast. We'd check out what Santa brought, open presents, and then dash off to my
mom's house to eat. She'd have breakfast going by the time we got there. There was never a
shortage of waffles, pancakes, bacon, and homemade sausage. Of course she'd also have fresh
Norwegian lefse with butter and brown sugar waiting for us, too.
My attempt a few years ago to make her lefse recipe.
It didn't taste as good as my mom's.
The problem with the breakfast tradition was that we were all so hungry by the time we
got to my mom's house. So, as a good mom and dad, we'd let the kids eat a cookie or two
from all the goodies we'd either baked or received from neighbors and friends.
The Christmas Morning Cookie recipe!
Please note: I am not saying these are healthy cookies, but they make
grumpy children happy while waiting for their REAL breakfast.
The cookies waiting for caramel drizzle and salt
Full of pecans, raisins, and chocolate chips
They are good without the salt, but it gives it a nice sparkle
