Snowed in and bored…any baking recipes to kill the time?
I am pretty much snowed in with my 8 1/2 month old son until my hubby gets home tonight from work. I’m kind of bored and want to get some baking done to add to the holiday spirit. As I am snowed in my ingredients are limited. I have the following on hand:
Flour
Confectioners sugar
brown sugar
sugar
cinnamon
ginger (ground)
marshmallows (2 cups)
popcorn
bisquick (only 2 cups)
milk
2 eggs
Irish Creme liquer
butter
Variety of other liquor
I am not looking to make a masterpeice, just something for a tasty holiday snack. Any suggestions? The easier the better, especially if I can involve my 8 month old! 
Thanks
Your could make shortbread cookies, and cut them out with different shapes just like sugar cookies. Then, you can make frosting to decorate them.
Shortbread Cookies
2 cups Unsalted butter, softened
1 cup Sugar
4 cups Flour
¼ teaspoon Salt
1. Cream butter and sugar in large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in flour and salt. Knead the dough briefly until smooth. If dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. (Dough can be refrigerated up to several days; soften slightly before shaping cookies.)
2. Heat oven to 325℉. Have ungreased baking sheets ready.
3. Pat half of the dough out on lightly floured surface to ½-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Place cookies 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake until light brown on edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
Flavored Icing
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon rum flavored extract (or use the real thing, no rum then improvise)
1 tablespoon hot water
1. Heat butter and milk over a low heat. When melted remove from heat.
2. Stir sugar and rum extract into the butter and milk mixture. Use hot water to thin the icing to your desired consistency.
Merry Christmas!
