I am working on a batch of milk chocolate and almond biscotti now, which will be dipped in semisweet chocolate.

And a batch of soft chocolate chip comes next, some to bake now and the rest to freeze in a roll.

Need a new recipe for peant butter blossoms, can't find the good one I used to use.

I still have to make sugar, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter blossoms, and possibly a batch of cutouts and thumbprints.

Status: offline 		Well, I have yet to start baking for the Hoiday's, seems I should get started soon.  The milk chocolate and almond biscotti sounds great!  I may have to add those to my list.

I will be making some gingerman cookies, and perhaps a house if time permits.  Then some greek cookies, I can't remember their names or spell them.  My son wants some choc chip, and the some Bakalav for Chistmas day.  I will also be making some Zimt Sterne
(Cinnamon Stars) a German cookie

I stopped making suger cookies when my belly would not go back to it's normal size in Feb, March, April, May or June.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the offer, but my wife and her family are from Greece, so I use their recipe.

Generally I think most of them are the same, except for little things like clarify the butter first and what type of honey is used

Status: offline 		Sure, when I make it I'll send it to you.  The ingridents are in Greek so I need my wife to translate it as I bake it. 

Most of the things I bake or cook don't really have an amount to add, it's just a list of what is needed and then you eyeball it as you bake or cook

Status: offline 		  Soooooo, like my grandma's old cookbook. When we were taught to cook and we just "knew" and eyeballed everything. A pinch of this, a smidgeon of that, a handful of that...... I can remember asking Grandma how she knew how much to put in and she'd always say the same thing - she just knew because it "looked right".

So helpful, so helpful.   I'll look forward to the recipe. I love making baklava even though I love eating it even more!

You don't need an oven to make these, and they are yummy! http://www.recipezaar.com/Christmas-Cornflake-Wreath-Cookies-153446

It's easier to take about a spoonful though, and put it on waxed paper and add a few of the red hots. They look like holly berry leaves. Very pretty.

I don't know if I'm going to go all out this year like I did last year.

I just don't know.
