Gal #3 February

This is a little late, and will be closely followed by the March cookie post...but alas here we are. February was a short and busy month for the #3 household but we managed to do several cookies...only one of which I will post about. The cookie book from Gal #1 is getting a lot of attention in this household and we have found an outstanding favorite for February's cookie.


Aunt Sis's Strawberry Tart

 I used my dad's homemade strawberry jam to make these cookies and boy was in at added extra!! The rich strawberry flavor with the buttery tart surrounding it was outstanding and they literally flew off the cookie sheet. The dough was simple to make and all that took a little more concentration was making the little moats in the middle for the jam to sit in.

These are a great Mr. #3 favorite and went very quickly...almost to the point where my Samaritan couldn't get them to their own home. These weren't a surprise for February's recipient but they were greatly appreciated by a women who has been undergoing a lot lately, both in work and in health. The red color added a smile for Valentine's Day but these could be made year-round.

Also made this month were the chocolate wafers from Gal #2 which were such a success that no pictures were taken...talk to Mr. #3 for complaints. March will prove to be a stretch and an exciting one...more catching up from Gal #3 to follow. Cheers Gals!
