The people from the other side of the world say flour (which is only correctly pronounced Flar) as Flower. This cracked me up to no end when I was little. But there is a really spiffy book called Flour Pot Cookies, which is really cool – uses more royal icing deco as opposed to the amazing Lindy Smith’s “Bake Me I’m Yours!” which uses more fondant. Totally beautiful! I bought a few cookie cutters like handbags and shoes to decorate but I didn’t have a chance with these babies. Half went to an order and the other half was eaten before I could decorate. Well at least I’m ready for Christmas’ snowflake cookies! I had such trouble with the beautiful things last year.

Here’s mine..

Watch this for the recipe, which is pretty close to the one I used. I put 1tsp of cinnamon and no almond extract or salt.

Enjoy! This is a pretty darn good cookie! Use real butter people, real butter only! The other stuff is one molecule away from plastic :)
