Every Christmas our girls and I become Cookie Elves as we continue our Christmas traditions -- baking cookies. 
We have our favorite recipes (many of them found on this blog), but our Christmas recipes usually include: Cracked Sugar Cookies, Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies, Peppermint Cookies and M & M Cookies. Of course, we keep some for eating and then freeze the rest to give as gifts for Christmas.
Next we'll bake quick breads -- Orange Nut Bread and Poppy Seed Bread and then later this month we'll make some fudge, chocolate turtles and chocolate peanut clusters. Do you enjoy holiday baking? What are some "traditional" favorites for your family?
*Because I'm on a hard and swift deadline to finish my third book, I've decided to share some old posts with you this Christmas season. I hope you'll enjoy revisiting them. I will, however, continue to post new recipes each Friday!
Baking Christmas cookies is "my thing"! My favorites are sugar cookies (my mom's 4H blue ribbon recipe!), peanut butter kiss cookies, gingersnaps, pecan sandies,, and new to me this year are chocolate crinkles (although I've seen them for years!). I also made peppermint bark and almond toffee! My kitchen has been a sugary wonderland! I just sent three boxes to California today, four more go tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI have decorated sugar cookies with grandchildren for 16 years now! JOYFUL!
Thanks for stopping by Carolyn! I tried making Chocolate Crinkles before and they are yummy! I'm also going to try Almond Toffee this year--for the first time. Wish me well! LOL - Christmas blessings to you!
