I hope Santa likes butter and cinnamon. Because that’s what he’s getting this Christmas Eve.
Not wanting to miss an edition of Magazine Mondays, I decided to prepare these Cinnamon Spritz Cookies for Mr. Claus. The recipe comes from the December 2007 issue of Martha Stewart Living.
Now I have a tendency to be a bit hard on Martha. I sometimes find that her recipes don’t fulfill their promise. But in this case, I must give Ms. Stewart credit. These cookies were delicious. They’re crisp and buttery and enrobed in cinnamon sugar.
If Santa doesn’t leave me George Clooney as a gift after tasting these, then he’s no longer a cookie lover in my books.
I wish I could stay longer and write more but I must be off. The house is a disaster, there’s cookie dough everywhere, gifts must be wrapped, food must be prepared, chocolate must be eaten, alcohol must be consumed, friends must be hugged … and I must prepare for George Clooney’s arrival.
Have a great holiday week!
Ciao!
Note: For some reason I can’t find the link to this recipe on Martha’s site. I’ll do some more digging over the holidays and hopefully post the recipe soon.

I find that Martha has been a little less disappointing as of late. These look wonderful. Good luck with the George Clooney thing.
Hope you have a very Merry Christmas.

I think Santa will be most pleased

I have Martha’s Baking Book, which came out a year or so ago, and everything I’ve tried from it has been primo. Have a great time baking stuff for George!

Well, I hope George and Santa like the cookies. I find that Martha’s cookies rarely disappoint me, it is just a lot of the other stuff that does. Let us know how George looks in Yule Log Buttercream would you??!!
Merry Christmas

Delicious looking—hopefully the recipe will become available–as I have found not all of the recipes she has in Living end up being on the website.
