    KRINGLA

    Like hubs, our neighbour here in South Texas has Norwegian heritage.

    The day that we made Lefse, she stopped by to see how our recipe differed from hers.

    Yesterday, she stopped by with a gift of several Kringla cookies that she always bakes to perfection.

    We’re so very blessed to spend our winters in a diverse, loving, and caring 50+ community.

    December 1st is traditionally when I start my Christmas cookie baking. It’s when my mom always started hers, so I guess the date is firmly ingrained in me from an early age.

    I bake the cookies that both of my grandmas and my mom made over the years, plus I always add a few of hubs’ faves from his memories of his mom.

    My feature photo is of sugar cookies – a must every Christmas.

    Each year, we exchange gifts with friends here in our park, and my gifts always include a selection of my home made cookies.
