Maybe this will be the year. I won't be buying vodka, so the sugar will be the way to go for me. The cookies look fabulous as do the grab'n'go pockets. I make many things gluten free. The gluten free recipes have come a long way and many of them are very tasty. Have you tried the Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 baking flour? It's gluten free and can be used cup for cup in your regular baking recipes. Perfect for Christmas cookies! It doesn't work for bread, however.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-50004932948949699962015-11-03T18:34:58.021-08:002015-11-03T18:34:58.021-08:00No, and my kids are pretty good at sniffing that k...No, and my kids are pretty good at sniffing that kind of thing out.

As soon as you stick that sucker in your basket, of course your neighbor is going to walk up to your cart, lol! I do understand! Also, I know you live in PEI, and so alcohol is quite expensive there I think, so it might be cost prohibitive for you, I don't know. But it is a fun project to try! It seems baking is the "thing" to do on those drippy gray days! <br /><br />I was so glad to join your home party today, and I hope you are enjoying this first week of November too!

I know that you make a lot of different extracts, and my plan is to make mint extract next, possibly. It is a wonderful thing to be able to make the extract yourself, and I think it tastes far better than any store bought extract.

I did add the recipe for the chocolate chip cookies on the post in case you are interested :) I agree - the price for the flour is a bit prohibitive, but if it is easier on tummies, that counts for a lot. I love it that you too make your own vanilla - isn't it awesome! The one part I hate about making it is buying the alcohol itself, lol, as we don't drink. The hot pocket recipe is awesome, if you buy her little book, she has a bunch of different ideas to make with it. It really is a great recipe. Hope you are having a wonderful week!

Only trouble with making my own is I would never be able to talk Hubby into going to the liquor store. He has a 'thing' about that. Maybe I'll ask a friend to get me a bottle. If I get to make my own vanilla, I'll let you know. What do I do on a drippy gray day? I bake! Thanks so much for partying with me today and enjoy this first week of November.<br /><br /><br />Autumn blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-58278742073697760982015-11-01T14:22:22.390-08:002015-11-01T14:22:22.390-08:00Those cookies look delicious!
