Snow on Fruit Mountain Cookies

 'Tis the season that I stop crafting and start baking.  This year I got a late start on crafting and cooking due to a lengthy trip to Japan in late Nov. to early Dec.  This first batch of cookies don't look delicious but they really ARE!  I found the recipe in a magazine and chose it because it looked scrumptious. However, I think the food stylist for the magazine must have doctored up the cookies, adding more color and moistness.  My cookies were rather bland looking so I sprinkled them with powdered sugar and renamed them Snow on Fruit Mountain. LOL!  What they lack in looks they make up in flavor so I am happily giving them to friends and family.  I found the perfect treat bags at HM Ben Franklin Crafts...Snow Much Fun! I am happy that I was able to pivot and as the old saying goes, 'turn lemons into lemonade'.  In cooking and crafting it is important to remember to stay positive and not get discouraged.  Life is better when you are optimistic. I'm positive that Santa will come again this year! Merry Christmas!
