Making Kringla...

Ok so I thought I had posted this...but I did not...

so here it is...a little late but still :)

Here I am making Kringla for the first time...for Christmas

since the dough was very sticky I used a Ziploc bag to press it out

the easiest cookies I have ever made...

I tried numerous shapes...

 So much fun....made a ton of cookies

that did not last as long...

My cookie gift boxes...

A fun experience making some yummy cookies...
