Paris!

Since, as it turns out, I'm possibly going back to Paris in January, I posted some pictures from my last trip there in 2007. You can see them here. The last time I was in Paris was June of 2007. It will be interesting to see how different the city is in the middle of winter!

Another highlight of the trip is that I will get to see my friend who lives near Coulanges. We've been pen-pals for over 4 years, and we actually met each other on my last trip to Paris. Since it's highly unlikely that she will visit the States any time soon, it's really exciting for both of us that we can meet up in January!

Roll into 1-inch balls, then roll in extra granulated sugar. Flatten into circles, making sure not to crack the dough. Bake 10-13 min. on a greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees.
