Christmas Treats

My friend, Joanna, and her kids came over yesterday, and we made treats for our kids Sunday school teachers. We made Southern Spiced Tea, and Palmiers. The kids had fun dumping the ingredients together for the tea, and they each got to cut some cookies with a real knife (with supervision, of course).
I got the Palmiers recipe from the Gourmet magazine. They weren't very difficult, just time consuming, because of the chill 30 min, then roll, then chill 30 min then roll again, about 5 times. I did that part the day before, so, it still wasn't too bad. They were incredibly yummy!
We finally had our TMNT birthday party last night for my 5 y/o. It went great! I'm glad it's finally done!
