This is a good recipe. I did have a problem though but I know it was me, cause I have not worked with yeast that much. So I know practice will make it prefect and I will differently try this recipe again. Thank you for sharing this with us all!

<p>I am Cookiegirlandi because I was head cookie decorator for Cookies by Design/Cookie Bouquet for 6 years in SE MI. <br />DH and I bought a 2000sq ft greenhouse in 2004 and moved it up 160 miles north of our Oakland co home to our co-owners 10 acre cottage. Neighbors up here happened to have a place for sale and we bought it. We absolutely love it here. It is truely beautiful here, surrounded by nature. Sort of a shock to me at first--as I also worked as a nail tech in salons for 18 years and was used to shopping and dining out. Always had perfect hair, nails, tan, outfits, makeup. Sheez. Not anymore!! LOL! <br />So, now I am a homemaker/wife, artist, jewelry maker, golfer, perennial plant collector, supergardener/greenhouse grower, garden tender, (I have many gardens) mom to boxer and 3 wonderful rescue kitties! Busier than ever!! <br /><br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b224/dejectedwithstars/redborder-animate.gif alt= /> <br /><a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank><img src=http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/cws3.png border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br />Working on updating this page=thanks for looking!! <br />Happy Cooking!</a></p>
