Hello everyone, and a very warm welcome to some new Followers! Sorry I have been so absent lately. I've taken a little blog vacation. Our Christmas was very nice, with time spent traveling to see family and time spent at home.
Now that Christmas gifts have been given I can share some photos of all the cookies I made to share with my family.
Between the Yule Log for our office party and all the cookies, I was busy in the kitchen almost every day for the 2 weeks leading up to Christmas.

Shortbread cutouts.

Bundled shortbread cutouts, ready for gift giving.

These are mocha crackle cookies - the recipe made almost 5 dozen! There was a small legion of them cooling on the counter.

The mocha crackles were my second favorite of all that I made.

Hmm... what might this be?

Ohhh! Homemade Oreos! These were my favorite cookie of all that I made, but there were very few left over.

The Oreo recipe was courtesy of some of my gal pals at work. Thanks girls!

Can't forget the fudge! I made peanut butter, milk chocolate, and chocolate mint varieties.

I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season. I'm working on a holiday slideshow to share with you before the year is out.
Dear Heather,
ReplyDeleteThese all look yummy! The fudge is calling to me!
Looking forward to reading your journal and getting to know you.
I love my D50. I bonded!!
I take her out walking most days.
The D300 is new and I do love her but she will take some time to learn. Miss 50 is "my camera"... my first love.
Happy New Year.
Namaste,
Sherry
How do I get on the cookie list for next year? ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh those look good. I have always wanted to try homemade oreos and I have a recipe I found. They look like a lot of fun.
I think I just gained 9 lbs reading your post!
ReplyDeleteMichelle wants to know how we, too, can get on the mailing list?? Great post.
ReplyDeleteI'm w/ the rest of them - I would love to be on your cookie list too! They all look yummy and I love how you packaged them!
ReplyDelete-Q: I love my D50 too. It's the first SLR camera I've ever owned. I hope that this year will be the year that I expand my lens collection! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDelete-NWNN: The oreos were fun to make, and relatively simple, too. I wasn't sure if I was going to have enough filling mixture, but it all worked out perfectly! Let me know if you give your recipe a try.
-Seth and Michelle: Don't get me started on the holiday weight gain! I would be happy to share any of the recipes, if you're interested!
-Shelly: Presentation is half the fun of making the cookies, in my opinion. I found lots of cute, cheap cookie containers and fun holiday ribbon at Big Lots.
