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 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? For the past 5 years or so I've made peanut butter blossom cookies, the ones with the Hershey's kiss in the middle. I save decorative tins from other cookies, candies, etc., load them up with the peanut butter blossoms, and give them to my clients as holiday gifts. The recipe I have makes a *ton* of these things, and I've cut the original amounts by 4; the full recipe has the disclaimer "Makes a hell of a lot" on it, and if I can get at least 7 dozen out of one-fourth of the amount... I used to make spritz cookies of various flavors, shapes, and sizes, but I got tired of those. Unclogging the cookie press too many times will do that, I guess. I don't do cut-outs unless I absolutely have to. My dad makes great cut-outs, and it's kind of a tradition to have everyone over to Mom and Dad's for a cookie icing day. Tonight I'm baking brownies for my daughter's class party tomorrow, then it's time to mix up the dough for the peanut butter blossoms.

I order my cookies. (Hangs head in shame) I make a cherry cake and order a
fruit cake. Does that help? Katherine "seaspray" seaside stitcher @ yahoo. com wrote in message ... What does everyone bake for the holidays?

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 ...

"cherry cake" reminds me of another holiday favorite of mine... THE
Christmas Cake...has chopped cherries in a batter that whips up like frosting. Quite possibly the most beautiful cake BEFORE baking! "Katherine" wrote in message ... I order my cookies.
