Sprinkle with Powdered Sugar

Jumbles

1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients, let set 15 minutes. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Spicy Oatmeal Crisps

Pepper may sound like an odd ingredient for a cookie, but it complements the other spices well (although you can omit it if you prefer).

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon ground allspice

½ teaspoon grated whole nutmeg

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)

1 cup packed brown sugar

5 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large egg

½ cup regular oats

Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 7 ingredients (flour through pepper) in a medium bowl. Beat sugar, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat well. Stir in flour mixture and oats.

Drop by level tablespoons 2 inches apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes or until crisp. Cool on pan 2 to 3 minutes or until firm. Remove cookies from pan; cool on wire racks.

I usually start my Christmas shopping at the end of October. I have been known to buy presents in July, I have spotted something that I know would be ideal for someone and bought it. The problem is I have also been known to put it away for safe keeping till Christmas and then forgotten about it. Earlier this year I was cleaning out some cupboards and came across a book that I had bought for my husband for Christmas and simply forgot about it. Still it was a nice surprise to have a present at Easter instead of Christmas, thank goodness I had not wrapped it in Christmas wrapping paper.

why dont you make a hilarious video with potato heads and send it to eeveerybody? thats what i did and my mom cried(in a good way too). but im 14 so........

you could get you dad a car cushion thing so he wont loose feeling in his butt while hes driving

you could get your husband a ipod with a bunch of pictures of you and ur family on it, but he might already have one i guess.

you could get your mom one of those electronic picture frames that runs through a bunch of pictures, we got one for my grandparennts and they really liked it!!!!!

good luck
