What does this red squirrel have to do with this post? Well nothing really, except I thought he was cute and as I was watching him eat all the suet cakes meant for my birds, I decided I needed a little treat myself from the log cabin kitchen!
Please have a seat. Pretty soon those pumpkins will be gone and it will be time to get the log cabin decorated for Christmas! Also, I'm starting to crave cranberry pecan bread that comes out from my favorite deli this time of year. Stay tuned, I'm going to have a giveaway of that special bread!
I found the log cabin Christmas serving ware at Kohls! Perfect for my abode! Now they need some cookies - something easy and quick to make.
Have you tried this Nutella stuff? Hazelnut spread with milk and cocoa....yum! Well let's spread this on some soft ginger cookies. (Repeat SOFT ginger cookies - not those spicy ginger snaps that I don't care for.)
I have a confession. I was too lazy to make homemade soft ginger cookies, so I made them out of box. (Really, I do know how to cook...) Well take 2 cookies, and spread the nutella on one - then stick them together.
I like the combination of the ginger, hazelnut and cocoa. Plus I like the fact that I was munching on cookies less than 30 minutes after the craving set in! And really....I will have more sophisticated recipes coming up in the future.....

I like that idea for the cookies! I bake up a storm for the Christmas Holiday and pass out trays to all of my cleaning customers, friends and neighbors. I also cheat but on my dipped gingersnaps. I have a wonderful recipe for a baked cookie but by the end of the day, I am so tired I use the boxed ones. They're so easy, you just dip one end of them iin melted almond bark (white). VERY yummy!
I have those same little plates from KOHL'S! I have so much Christmas kitchenware as well as Christmas China that I am hard pressed to use it all! Laura just found me a Christmas Deviled Egg tray. My cabin kitchen is going to have to be biggest room in our cabin! ha Ha!
Connie

YUM! Okay, I need to try that flavor combination. It sounds soooo good with a cup of hot coffee. I am looking forward to your more sophisticated recipes too! It's that time of year again. I love the holidays.
I can imagine eating those at your counter with a cup of hot coffee. I'm going to have to check out Kohl's.
Yummy!
I would love to see your cabin all decked out for Christmas. Your kitchen is just beautiful.
I have a jar of Nutella in the cupboard, but no ginger cookies. Off to the store!
