Advent, Advent

Somehow it has already gotten to be December and Advent!  Where did the year go?

We have invited thefamily over for an Advent Coffee on this coming Sunday.  One of the things I want to prepared are Gingerbread Cupcakes with Cinnamon Whipped Cream Icing, each topped with a mini-Gingerbread boy.

So the first thing to do is bake the little cookies.

The dough got made and then stuck in the fridge.




There was more than enough dough so I also made a herd of reindeer.



Oops!  These guys turned out too dark and crunchy.


So did the reindeer.



Just turn the oven down a bit and bake them not quite so long, then all is fine:




Doesn't that look yummy?



Also made some shooting stars, a traditional German shape.



Now for a cup of  “Wintertime” herbal tea from my Santa Claus teapot and some of the overly-done cookies.





 And that is a great combination!
