the annual abuse of the pancreas

Giftmas (and the following January) is the only time of year when I allow myself to just eat cookies at will. I kind of hate myself for it, but they're tasty. The things I like best about this time of year are giving presents, strings of lights, and cookies ( Read more... )

I'm making a bunch of candies/cookies this weekend for my students' upcoming party. I'll post recipes when I get a chance!

i used to go CRAZY and make a dozen cookies every holiday, but now i just do the best three: russian teacakes, peanut butter balls (like gourmet version of reeses peanut butter cups), and rum balls (amazing). this year, i may do a couple more of the favorites: spritz and macaroons. i also always do chocolate covered pretzels. i used to do thumbprint cookies, chocolate snaps, peanut butter cookies and god only knows what else...........

I make almond sugar cookies and italian cookies ... and I'm sure 3 million other kinds I can't think of right now. Cookies are super fantastic :D

C is for cookie! lingeringnight December 14 2007, 01:32:55 UTC

Christmas Cookies are the best thing about Christmas, hands down. Well, that and all the charity/helping people/nice stuff, but COOKIES. (...I really like cookies.)

We had two types of cookies that we usually end up making every year (well, okay, me for the last ten years.): a sugar cookie-esqe one with half a cherry on top, and ones that resemble holly wreaths made out of marshmallow, green food coloring, and cornflakes, with tiny little red hots! They are so cute. (probably posting the recipe for the holly wreaths on the blog next week, just have to ask my mom where it came from originally.)

And my oldest sister always makes spitz cookies shaped like trees which for some reason are my favorite ever. Probably because I didn't have to make them.

We're big on the festive cookies, apparently.

By "we" I mean my mom, sister, and I... amethystmoon December 15 2007, 15:02:35 UTC

yay Russian Tea Cakes!!! We always make them, and no one else has ever heard of them. Then when you describe them, some people go "oh, you mean Mexican Wedding Cakes, but not crescent-shaped" or "Oh, snowballs". I am making some today in fact ( ... )
