Happy News!

I have finally decided that I am going to take all of the wonderful advice that you gave and I am going to give them all of those. I need to get working on that! Santa and Mrs. Clause said that they would help me get it all together. You know Mrs. Clause is a wonderful cook! I asked her if I could post another recipe and she said that would be wonderful! So here it is!

"Santa's Whisker's" cookies

Makes 60

3/4 cup Margarine
2 cups Flour
3/4 cup Sugar
1 tablespoon Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla
3/4 cup finely chopped candied red or green cherries
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
3/4 cup coconut

Beat margarine with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add about half the flour, the sugar, milk, and vanilla. Beat till thoroughly combined. Stir in remaining flour. Stir in cherries and pecans. Shape into 8-inch rolls. Roll in coconut. Wrap in wax paper; chill 2- 24 hours. Cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place on an un-greased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Cool cookies on a wire rack. Makes about 60.


So give that a try and let me know what you think! Mrs. Clause is such a nice lady!

The other day I was talking with some of the other Elf's and one asked me what I would like to if I was not an elf. I thought this was a crazy question because I LOVE being and Elf. But it got me thinking. What would I be. I think it would be fun to work for Toys R Us or something like that! I also think it would be fun to be a firefighter or police officer. They are always out making sure we are all safe. So I have a question for you.... what do you want to be when you are all grown up???

Well I have to go! I have so to do before Christmas and my Hot cocoa break is over!!

Love your buddy,
