Catch Up Day
Oops, fell behind last week. Sorry, it’s been crazy around here.
Counting down to the release of The Curse of Culcraig on Friday. Very excited. To celebrate I’ll be having a contest and giving away a free copy so check back.
NaNo finishes up today, and there’s no way in hell I’m going to hit 50K. I’m sitting at about 40K. I’m mildly annoyed by this. Especially when I think of how well I was doing at the beginning. On the upside, I’m between a third to half way through something new. And I’m really liking this story.
And now, as promised, the recipe for NaNa’s Empire Cookies:
2 Cups (1lb) of butter
2 1/2 cups of fine sugar
2 eggs
4 cups of all purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
Cream together butter, sugar, and vanilla. Add flour and baking powder and knead by hand. Roll out on non-stick surface and cut with cutter or tumbler. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Spread raspberry jam between two biscuits. Spread top with icing.
Icing: Mix icing sugar with milk and teaspoon of almond extract. Spread over top of cookie and add half cherry.

I’d say 40k in a month is pretty darn great. Way more than I’ve written this month. And thanks for the recipe.
