Good-eatin' poppy seed treats



Today, my sister, Hil and I had quite the day. We baked these most delicious poppy seed cookies and along the way met two little angel friends... they joined us, adventuring throughout the house being filled with Christmas JOY!

They soon shall be gobbled up.
Sorry friends.
I promise you will most definitely be enjoyed.


Our morning had begun, we were first introduced to our angel friends as soon as they came out of the oven!
Soon enough, with the aroma of sweet smelling paper whites just next door, they were eager to get close!


Our two little angel friends were enjoying themselves so much on our most exhilarating escapade that they couldn't wait to meet the rest of the family.
Father was the first to be introduced, they were drawn to his mysterious demeanor.


The little angels were so resistant to leave Father, but the bells of Prancer and Nixon were ringing.. So they joyously flew over to greet them!


Soon enough, our angel friends were famished and exhausted from our ventures. We offered them cookies, oranges, apples, candy, an abundance of food.
But they wanted nothing of the sort.
Apparently they fancy bananas.



The end :)





Poppy Seed Cookies
Inspiration: Mother's recipe box

3 eggs
3/4 cup oil
4 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup poppy seeds
2 tsp baking powder
juice and rind of 1 orange


1. First, beat the eggs.


2. Then add the sugar, oil, rind & juice.

3. Add the dry ingredient and mix with a beater until it becomes too sticky. Then you can mix with your (clean) hands.


4. Now roll out super thin on a floured surface and cut into desired shapes (Hil and I used icing sugar instead, this doesn't dry out the dough).


5. Bake at 350 for 7-8 minutes, or until golden on the edges.


A tasty treat!
how delightful.
