OT Holiday Baking
What does everyone bake for the holidays? Is there a dish that you are
famous for or always make every year? For me, I make Italian Cookies. I do not know if they are from Italy, but that is the name of the cookie. They are soft rounds that are iced and decorated. It just wouldn't be Christmas without them. How about you? |

Christmas isn't Christmas without them. (Err, and the sugar cookie cutouts. In addition to the usual holiday-themed cookies - Santas, candy canes, trees, etc - I also mix the leftover frosting into a brownish grey color and make little Christmas bats. Yes, I have a bat cookie cutter, and they're always the first ones that disappear from the plate! ^.^) -- Atara "Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus." http://www.50degreesnorth.com/garden/index.html ***What doesn't fit in my email addy?

I make snickerdoodles (which are just sugarcookies rolled in
cinnamon-sugar before baking), quickbreads (pumpkin, banana, zucchini if somebody in the neighborhood is running a hothouse and foolishly lets the zucchini move in for the winter), and sour cream sugar cookies. Sometimes I make meringue cookies, but they're more work than they're worth IMO and too similar in character to marshmallows, which I despise. I also make pie (pumpkin, fruit, pecan, pecan-custard and pecan-pumpkin). Very occasionally I get really ambitious and make my own chocolate truffles, but with a "helper" around that's difficult to do effectively. I also make yeast bread, yeasted rolls, cornbread, blah blah blah Oh wait, these are all things I make year-round! Michelle Munching on yesterday's banana bread and contemplating entirely too much knitting yet to do by Xmas... But the house is (nearly) clean!

I love snickerdoodles!
And I guess I should add my own specialties to this list. I make Kahlua fudge, snowballs, truffles, and rum balls. Delicious! Katherine "SlinkyToy" wrote in message ...

Oh !!NO !Never ,Noreen - I love all these Calorie free goodies and I
definitely believe in Santa and as for cupid - well - having only known Frank a week when he proposed ( and he had 4 days away in New Guinea during that week ) and having since served over two life sentences - translated into 50 years of married bliss - I cannot but believe in that little guy with the arrow God Bless Gwen Gwen Kelly "Noreen's Knit*che" wrote in message .. .
