Smells of Christmas

We had a little test run of the old Christmas turkey smell in our house this morning only there was no turkey in the oven, just these little beauties:

That's right - the BBQ Chicken and Sweet Potato frozen dough made up into little snowmen.  I tried to find Hanukkah cutters but had no luck.  I guess I need to start looking before Hanukkah starts.   The helpful kitchen lady suggested I could get a star (as in a Bethlehem star?) or a tree (as in a Christmas tree?) but I decided to settle for a snowman.  Thanks for the help lady and may I suggest Judaism for Dummies or Wikipedia.  Just an hour on there would help your sales I'M SURE.  Seriously?  Did you need the sale that bad to start making those suggestions?

The BBQ dough was fabulous.  Not so good when cold because it is really stiff, but if you wait approximately the time it takes to root through all of your cupboards to find a rolling pin only to settle on the can of cooking spray (AGAIN), the dough softens up nicely.

So I rolled out a few snow dudes and then went back to my Christmas stand-bys - the angel and holly (and a couple hearts just because they are small).  This is the most use my cookie cutters have seen in a decade, which is also about the time I last saw my rolling pin and mat.  Perhaps it decayed from lack of use.

I have to say Cooper was a pretty happy guy this morning.  I believe it would be the equivalent to waking up fresh baked cinnamon buns or bacon and eggs.  Anything for you little dude.

And speaking of little dudes, Kal if that's where you are right now good luck - we can't wait to see Baby K.  And if that's not where you are, I hope you are enjoying your well deserved break before the arrival of Baby K.

Today I'll be walking Cooper in a winter wonderland thanks to an Alberta Clipper.  Bring it ON!

I went and bought a tub of the Peanut Butter and Saskatoon berry today... Koda flipped when I opened it and saw the dough. We're making cookies tomorrow; it's thawing on the counter, he keeps going up to it and poking his nose on it. LOL. He wants them so bad.

Do you get any sort of lingering dog biscuit smell when you cook these? I ask because I remember once I tried to make some homemade dog biscuits and...well my kitchen stank for like, 3 days straight.
