I was just about done with Annie's and Diane's cookies when the doorbell rang on Saturday. It was a cookie delivery from Alva aka alucy, and I must admit she is a pretty brave woman for sending some delicate Florentine Lace cookies. She sent two, wrapped indivually and packed in their own little box. They are delicious! If that wasn't enough, she also sent Orange-Cranberry Delight cookies which were a big hit. We ate them when we were driving around looking at the Christmas lights. There were 5 of us in the car -- THEY ARE ALL GONE! Thank you so much Alva.

Thank you Debbie, glad you enjoyed them! I'm relieved someone got them, I was beginning to worry. I sent them on Wednesday and was promised 2-3 day delivery, today I was wondering if they were all going to come back as undeliverable, lol.

Brave! Ha! This was my first time making the Florentines, the recipe I used produced an ultra delicate cookie, which I tried to stiffen up by turning into a sandwich cookie, but they were still so fragile. Glad they survived.

(P.S. I thought I'd put four Florentines in each box -two packages of two - I know I made ten two-packs. I must've goofed if you only got one, awfully sorry.)

I got mine...would you belive it...on Sunday! I didn't know they even delivered mail on Sundays! Alva, I know what happened to the 4 Florentines you thought you sent...they were so delicate and when you packed them back to back, they fused together to make 1, so it only looks like you sent 2 when you sent 4. They were lovely cookies. I have not eaten my orange cranberries yet, was too full, but plan to start in on them tonight after work. This cookie thing was fun, wasn't it?

Alva,please be sure to post the cranberry orange recipe. Those are yummy. I still haven't eaten the Lace Florentine yet. Too much sweet junk over the weekend, so I am slowing down.

Yes, it was fun. And very tasty! I want to thank everybody for welcoming me as a newbie, too, I never really introduced myself to the forum so I know my cookies represented a bit more of a risk, er, adventure for all the tried-and-trues around here.

I had a great time and learned some lovely recipes. You ladies (and gents) on the forum never cease to impress me, such knowledgeable, talented and creative cooks here!

Now I want cookie boxes in my mailbox every day, lol.

More yummy cookies here arrived here yesterday. I was out of the office so I just finished one of each. Alva, they are great! This was my first time ever for the Florentine Lace cookies. YUM! The Cranberry Orange were great too. Thank you very much for a great box of treats.

My camera is loaned for school and church events this week so I can't post any pics. Sorry about that. : (

Alva,
Please pot your recipe for the cranberry orange cookies. DH and I both loved them. Pretty please?

Alva,

I am late posting, but we received your wonderful package with the cookies, which are now a wonderful memory. Thank you so much. I, too, would love your recipes, the cookies were delish!

Alava,

Thank you so much for the yummy cookies received them today.
You had the wrong zip code (89521 is correct one)

Just in time for Christmas Eve

Linda P

Glad your cookies arrived!

I checked my records and it seems I had transposed the digits on the zip code - many apologies! Now you all know why I never went into bookkeeping!

Alva seems those cookies of yours are a real hit......recipe please!
