Today we had the first of many family holiday parties. I put together a cookie tray, as I do every year. It was a small gathering so I only put out a few of each but the tray was demolished in five minutes! No kidding. The tray includes:Snickerdoodles
Molasses Cookies
Tiger Butter
Pizzelles
Cranberry Shortbread
Chocolate Fudge
Chunky Peanut, Chocolate and Cinnamon Cookies
Gingerbread-White Chocolate Blondies
Crazy Judy
Sugar Cookies
Chocolate Crackles
Many of the recipes are from my new Martha Stewart cookie cookbook and from the Holiday Cookies magazine that she published in 2005. There are also some family recipes and a couple from friends. I normally make a few more kinds but I feel fortunate to have fit this many in during my baby's very short naps.
Tomorrow I have to make Cranberry Nut bread. It's our tradition to eat it Christmas morning!
I put everything in the freezer till the last minute.
What are you baking?
You have got to be kidding that you usually do more! They look gorgeous and yummy!!
ReplyDeleteI used to do a lot of Christmas baking too. But not this year. No time. BTW I love your header ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow - it looks delicious. I usually do all kinds too but this year it didn't happen. I'm just trying to make sure I have two things in the freezer and just top up the supply when I need it.
ReplyDeleteYum! The tiger butter looks very intriguing to me...
ReplyDeleteTHEY ALL look yummy to me!! mmmmm....cookies!! I LOVE Martha's cookies...pretty AND tasty! Great job! I do breadmaker cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning. I mix, knead, and 1st rise in the bread maker...take it out, roll it, spread on the butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, roll it into a log...slice the circles and put them on pans, cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rised overnight! My husband is usually the first one up..since I am usually up until 3am still WRAPPING :D, so he puts them in the oven...mmmm, can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteYour baking looks amazing! That's WAY more than I've made this year.
