"National Brownie Day."

Scrap about brownies, brown things, brownie troop etc...

Or switch:                           Scrap about Holiday Baking.
I scrapped about the cookies I made last year for Christmas and I put it on Brown paper :)

I usually spend one day making cookies for Christmas and I like to try a new recipe each year. This particular year I tried a recipe from the 1972 Grange recipe book: Celebrity Cookie Bars, a really great bar cookie. My inspiration for the layout came from the sketch over at ScrapMuch?

   I had fun with some gold trim I had in my stash using my December on the Go counterfeit kit for the month.

 The new cookie got the top picture, a picture of oatmeal scotchies on the backing sheet and a tray full of cookies. I used the Dazzles Kitchen stickers for the little cookies scattered about and the cookie jar. I also used some candy cane stickers scattered about to bring in more of the red and green for Christmas colors.

 From an old recipe paper kit I found the cookie and the measuring cup diecuts and added those too the layout. some kitchen SU paper for the pennants to finish off the layout and a great spot for my journaling. I hope you will join us for this fun challenge this week. 

 

National Brownie Day 

When : Always December 8

National Brownie Day celebrates chocolatey, chewy brownies.

Brownie lovers, love chocolate. Conversely, chocolate lovers, love brownies. Therefore, its only natural, that we have a special day to celebrate brownies. It's fun and easy to enjoy this special day. First, select your favorite brownie recipe, and bake a batch of brownies. You can add nuts, if you prefer. Topping the brownies with chocolate frosting is a good thing, too. Finally, eat them! You can have them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as a snack.

P.S. Don't forget the glass of milk!  

Happy National Brownie Day.
