My strawberry pie will be perfect tomorrow, but since we are eating it tonight it's more of a strawberry sauce with some shortbread underneath it. Fortunately I planned ahead and had DH run out for ice cream earlier.

4 doz more rum snickerdoodles made. I think that's enough? Sending a few to my friend with her forwarded mail and any leftovers from the meeting, I'll take to the Y pool crew. I hope there will be leftovers, or I'll probably have to make them another batch. Because I made the mistake of telling them...

Also, baking note: the colder to dough, the puffier the cookie. Dough towards end spent more time in fridge and has about twice the volume.

Hand pies were not beautiful but they were delicious!

delicious is way more important.
It was over 90 degrees today. Had ice cream with burrell instead of pie.

My house smells of cinnamon, rum and butter. I like it.

Oh sarameg, I've been meaning to ask, can I get that rum snickerdoodle recipe? thanks
Note: not baking it tonight because 90 degrees

It's the basic good housekeeping recipe, plus about 1/4 c rum (I'm inexact, I glug it into a well in the dough I estimate to be about that when I'm adding egg and vanilla.) and more after the flour step if I don't taste the rum. Dark rum, fwiw.
Oven at 375.
1/2 c soft/melted butter (they say to blend it on high 30 s, have forgotten, don't see point if melted, which I always end up doing by accident.)
1 c sugar
1/4tsp baking soda
1/4tsp cream of tartar
Fumph of cinnamon (maybe 1/4 -1/2tsp, totally my tweak, I just eyeball a squeeze.)
Blend
Add 1 egg and 1/2tsp vanilla and booze of choice, mix well. Maybe 1/4 c booze!
Add 1 &1/2 c flour, 1/2 c at a time, unless you have a good mixer. Mix well. Chill an hour at least. Harder the dough, puffier the cookie.
You'll be rolling the balls in a 1Tb sugar+1tsp cinnamon (basically, your cinnamon sugar mix.)
I have a cookie scoop, but basically make one inch diameter balls, roll them in the cinnamon sugar and bake on an ungreased sheet or parchment for 11 minutes, until edges are just starting to brown and tops might be cracking. They'll deflate a little in cooling. I've cooled them on the sheets, have pulled them off immediately, not any diff, but I'm in a different climate. Dry now.

Glad I got to hang with you and Tom today, Nora.
