These cookies feature a sugar cookie base representing the moon, topped with a curve of creamy black icing to mimic totality. The contrast between the rich and sweet not only creates a beautiful representation of an eclipse but also offers a delightful blend of flavors in every bite.

After an hour, place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it to about 1/4 inch thick. Refrigerate the sheet for 15 to 30 minutes. Cut the cookies with a round cookie cutter and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies at 350 F for 9 to 10 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown.

As the cookies cool, to make the cinnamon cream cheese cookie dip, whisk together the cream cheese and cinnamon. Add milk to thin to desired consistency. To decorate the cookies, fill a piping bag with frosting. Every 2 cookies from the batch will be decorated the exact same. For the first 2 cookies, draw a small crescent on one side of the cookie round. From there, draw out a larger crescent for every 2 cookies with the frosting until the last 2 cookies are fully coated with frosting. " Once the frosting has hardened, lay the cookies on a tray ahead of serving so it is in order of smallest crescent to fully covered cookies. FREE DELIVERY Driver works on tips.

According to cooperative guidelines, capital credits may be returned to EMC members on a schedule determined by their co-op’s management and Board of Directors. Until 2006, unclaimed capital credits were paid to the Georgia Department of Revenue, under Georgia’s Disposition of Unclaimed Property Act.

CALL 912.303.7533 TO SCHEDULE YOUR SCREENING WITH DR. MORGAN! (0) optim primary care It’s not headaches Dr. Sidney J. Morgan Optim Primary Care Neighbors, I bet you will agree; nothing turns a good day upside down like a nasty headache. Headaches are such a common thing. Most people have had at least one headache. Unfortunately, headaches are a common occurrence for some people. Keeping life on track is not easy for people with frequent headaches. There are a few different types of common headaches and many more uncommon. For anyone with regular headaches, it's important to be evaluated by their doctor because we all want to be at our best; however, a headache can be a clue to an underlying problem. The more common headaches are migraines and tension headaches. Migraines are thought to be caused by vascular and nerve changes in the brain. Changes in blood vessel dilation cause pulsing headaches, which can last hours to days. Sometimes, people have specific triggers that can set off migraines. Lack of sleep is a common trigger. About a third of people with migraines wul experience an aura. An aura is a neurological symptom that usually occurs before a headache. Visual symptoms such as spots or shimmering in the vision are frequently reported, but other symptoms are possible. There are times when a migraine can mimic something more serious, such as a stroke. The good news is migraines don't have to be a way of life. For most people, migraine treatment is very effective. Tension headaches are band-like headaches of tenderness around the scalp. They are typically more of a dull pain and less debilitating than a migraine. They are common, and many people have had one at some point. The bottom line is it's a good idea to have present headaches checked out. We want to be at our best and know what is happening with our bodies. splitting hairs ove splitting Loving God.
