I started yesterday with a small batch of lemon cookies that turned out pretty decent. I'm keeping those since hubby likes them and I'm not particularly fond of lemon, so they're safe.
Then, I had to go to downtown Chicago for a couple of errands and ended up walking all the way to Greektown just to see how it looks like. It's mostly restaurants, but it also has a bakery cafe that carries Greek Xmas treats: melomakarona and kourambiedes. The prices were only a bit higher than in Athens, from what my mother told me! So, I ended up getting a couple of each just for the season's sake.
I might have enough ingredients for a simple shortbread, but I'm addicted to shortbread so I don't know what I'll do..

I had a brief moment yesterday during which I thought it might be a good idea to bake cookies for Xmas - then I decided I could do without the temptation. You're braver than me!!
If hubby had more of a sweet tooth, I'd consider. But if I'm going to end up eating everything by myself, I should really steer clear of any further baking. Imagine that he loved the lemon cookies, and we still have a bunch on the tray..
