Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

I went to a Mather family party tonight (Mather being my mother’s side of the family) to which I’d signed up to bring cookies; because it was my mother’s side of the family, I got to bring these Frosted Rhubarb Cookies and have them be a hit and not an oddity.  My aunts love rhubarb (as do I!), and buttery cookies with lovely bits of tart rhubarb (not to mention toasted coconut), frosted with homemade cream cheese frosting, always go over well.  (I love them too, by the way.)  Make these with butter, not shortening, and give your rhubarb a pretty fine dice, and you’ll be in dessert heaven.

I’d honestly love to talk for a while about my mother’s side of the family–they’re pretty amazing–but it’s late and we have swimming lessons at 9 am.  Goodnight all!
