Eagle

Dear Santa,

My name is Oakley. I am 4 ½ years old. I live in Grey Eagle. Mom has been telling me to be good so that we can go see you. I thought I was going to be scared but my big sister and brother were there too. I forgot when I told you that I wanted something else so I want a semi of my own like my big brothers, a sprayer and what I forgot was a combine with a bean head and a corn head. I love my big brother and want to be by him all the time. He and my sister play in the new crawl space all the time, mom says we should have just done a full basement there instead!! We love the space we now have in our addition so when you come you will be surprised!! I am a good boy…. well…….most of the time but I will try to behave when the new year starts! You know it’s hard to be a kid nowdays!!!!! I want it to snow so we can snowmobile in our backyard but I heard mom say it doesn’t look like it gonna snow before Christmas so that’s a bummer for us but good for you to make it to everyone’s house! I better get ready to go to bed now mom said, so see ya later. Oh I love to make cookies so I will make a treat for you and leave something for the reindeer outside. Mom said I can’t go up on the roof to put it by the chimney so make sure they look out back by the huge new sandbox. Love and hugs.

Thank you, Oakley

Dear Santa, My name is Judy. I live in Grey Eagle. I really do not want toys again. I really liked what you gave me last year so I think I want you to surprise me again. Here are some ideas if you need them: adult coloring books and a big nice marker/color pen set. I want to know when Pickles and Kenneth are coming back? I have been missing them. Did you know that Elf Pickles and Kenneth the Reindeer are named after my grandpas and I am named after my grandmas? How are the elves and you doing? How are your reindeer? What kind of cookies do you want for a snack at our house? If you figure it out just tell Pickles to write a note so we can make them for you. Bye. Thank you, Judy

Frosted Oatmeal Cookies

2 cups rolled or old-fashioned oats

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1 cup unsalted butter room temperature

1 cup light brown sugar

Grandma’s Molasses Cookies

1 cup lard

1/2 cup molasses

1/2 cup corn syrup

1/2 cup sugar

3-4 cup flour

1 large tsp. soda dissolved into 1/2 cup hot water

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. ginger

Mix all together in bowl. Stir in as much flour as needed. Roll out. Cut to desired shape. Bake 375-400 degrees in oven. Frost as desired.

Ginger Snaps

3/4 cups shortening

1 cup sugar

1 egg

2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoons cloves

1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ginger

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3 tablespoons light molasses

Make into balls, roll in sugar. Do not flatten. Bake at 375 until brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

2 large eggs room temperature

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Frosting:

2 tbsp. milk, cream or water (more or less as needed for the desired consistency)

2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

To prepare the cookie dough: Add the rolled oats to a food processor and pulse 10 times. Don’t over process because you want a variety of textures not just a ground oat flour. In a large mixing bowl combine the oats, flour, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk or stir to combine. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer beat the butter on medium-high about 30 seconds. Add the brown and granulated sugars and mix on medium-high until the batter lightens and becomes fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating just until the yolk disappears into the batter. Lightly beat in the vanilla. Add about 1/3 of the oat and flour mixture to the butter and egg mixture, mixing on a low speed just until blended. Continue adding the flour mixture until fully incorporated.

Using a 2 tablespoon size ice cream or cookie scoop (not heaping - leveled straight across the top of the scoop), roll the dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet at least 2-inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the bottoms just begin to brown. Do not over-bake. Remove the pan from the oven and let the cookies rest for 5 minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely.

To prepare the icing:

kies

Granola Peanut Cluster Cookies

6 oz. pkg. chocolate chips

6 oz. pkg. butterscotch chips

1 1/4 c. regular granola

1 c. chopped peanuts

Melt chips in double boiler until smooth. Add granola & peanuts. Drop on waxed paper.

Combine the powdered sugar with the milk. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the icing is somewhat thick. Place the icing in a shallow dish or container, about 4x4 inches. Quickly dip the tops of the cooled cookies into the icing and let the excess drip off. Set the dipped cookie on the rack until the icing has set. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Here’s How It Works:

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
