Cookie Season
I've accomplished the four necessaries: chocolate-mint layered bars, coconut macaroons, rugelach (see), and molasses cut-out cookies. Leaving us two weeks to bake optional fripperies. Fun!
You're so lucky to be so far along! We've been spending so much time helping my daughter with college & scholarship applications and trying to get necessary home repairs finished so we can host Christmas Eve for my in-laws and Christmas Day for my family, that I'm way behind on my baking! My daughter (who just applied to the Baking & Pastry Arts program at the Culinary Inst. of America) and I are going to try to get it all done this weekend. Wish me luck!
Baking - yummy! I made rugelach once, and everyone liked it except me! I suppose I should get out the recipe again and give it another try. Those mint chocolate bars sound heavenly, though.
I want a recipe for your chocolate-mint bar.

ReplyDeleteWe're going to do our gingerbread cut-outs today after school with a friend. That's our standard. After that, who knows?!

I only wish my list of "necessaries" were as short and as easy as yours.

ReplyDeleteWe always called the cookies in your photo 'scuffles' and now I wonder why. So good though:)
