I haven’t done much holiday baking this December but did find a new cookie for Santa to sample, Bourbon-Pecan-Gingerbread Cookies! This cookie has a fluffy, muffin-like texture with a bourbon glaze on top! I ended up with more cookies than the recipe called for so there’s plenty to share. They’re also large cookies so one is…
I’m picnicking with the birds with inspiration and fun provided by my Birds of a Feather Advent Calendar.

With less than 2 weeks until Christmas, {yikes!} I’m trying to Keep Calm and Merry On while scurrying to check off…

My inspiration took flight from my Birds of a Feather Advent Calendar.…
