Do you bake? What kinds do you make? 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've already made and hid coconut macaroons, white chocolate chip macadamia nut, nestle's tollhouse, rum balls, and a batch of fudge. I still have to make sugar, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter blossoms, and possibly a batch of cutouts and thumbprints.

[8\|] I need a decent oven to make anything first. And my recipes from Idaho...... Normally I would be making rumballs, hazelnut cheesecake, pumpkin chocolate chip bread, shortbread and a few other things for this time of year. Rain

I love to bake. So far I've made mini pecan pies, mini sweet potato pies, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and mini loaves of Amish friendship bread. Still to make: fudge; brownies; chocolate chip cookies; sugar cookies; pumpkin bread; more Amish friendship bread; more oatmeal chocolate chip cookies; oatmeal raisin cookies; gingerbread; gingerbread/sugarcookie swirls; gingerbread men & women; snickerdoodles and three types of thumbprint cookies. Got the ingredients for it all.. going to become The Mad Baker this coming weekend....

The college aged one, due home this week has requested sugar cookies in the shape of dinosaurs if possible, with sprinkles. She's 19, not 9. Oh yeah, and a cheesecake.

I make a cranberry pistachio biscotti that is to die for and perfect when dunked in a good cup of coffee. It's freaking fattening too.

[sm=flameout.gif] Ya, but I don't cause fires. You do.... (Of course, I don't run into door handles either.) [sm=tongue.gif] Rain

and thus begins the daily picking-uponization of the sweet...the innocent...the most pure holly

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.

LumusandtheLady -> RE: Holiday Cookies (12/9/2008 5:45:21 AM)
Housesub, do you have a recipe for baklava or do you need one? I have a great one as I make it periodically. Mmmmmmm, I love baklava!!!! drools Rain

housesub4you -> RE: Holiday Cookies (12/9/2008 5:50:39 AM)
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

LumusandtheLady -> RE: Holiday Cookies (12/9/2008 5:53:32 AM)
Mmmmmmmm, sounds nummy. Wanna share your's then? Please? [:D] (Why yes, I'm always on the lookout for great recipes. Some people collect toys, some collect cards, I collect recipes and cookbooks. I can use my collection!) Rain

quote: ORIGINAL: sirsholly and thus begins the daily picking-uponization of the sweet...the innocent...the most pure holly How much do we have to pick off to get to the sweet part again...?

housesub4you -> RE: Holiday Cookies (12/9/2008 5:57:40 AM)
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

LumusandtheLady -> RE: Holiday Cookies (12/9/2008 6:03:25 AM)
[:D] 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. [sm=lol.gif] I'll look forward to the recipe. I love making baklava even though I love eating it even more! Rain

Rain 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.

DesFIP -> RE: Holiday Cookies (12/9/2008 7:34:56 AM)
blushy, are the corn flake wreaths as sticky to the touch as rice krispie treats are? I just made them and I swear there was as much on me as in the pan.
