Let's Cook!!!
I've been thinking about the goody trays I'm going to make as gifts. I just about have the choices finalized.
Wanna hear?
Well, I'll definetely be making two of the recipes I listed here - the Peppermint Meltaways and the Buckeyes. Those are staples as far as I'm concerned.
Of course I'll be making fudge. That goes without saying.
And pretzels dipped in white chocolate and milk chocolate. Yummy and oh so easy.
I'll be making Mama Vi's microwave peanut brittle. So good, and it's been a long time since I've had any of that.
Cookie wise, Christina has a few recipes (with pictures) that had me drooling at the keyboard. The Tender Toffee-Chocolate Rounds just sound too good to resist so those are getting made.
I'll probably do some Spritz Cookies, cause the only time I make them is Christmas and they're too good not to include.
Oh - and I'll be making the family's super secret Keeflees. Holy Cow. One Christmas I ate myself into a sugar coma with those bad boys.
I still want to do a couple other cookies, and I've got to get those narrowed down by Saturday.
Ktreva is coming over to help me out and I am really looking forward to spending the day with a dear friend making goodies.
Wow. Three good weekends in a row. I won't know how to act....

Tammi,
Holy moses you are going to be busy! Wish I was there to eat some of this....
I too need to come up with a list. So far buckeyes, gingerbread men, and soft moasses cookies. I want to make pefferneuse (spelling is worng I am sure) but I do not think anyone here would like them but me....
I also seem to have a hankering for those horrid wreathes made from cereal with the red hots on them...
I need to think about this.
Posted by: awtm at December 4, 2007 09:40 AMI need to pull my list for this year together. Gingerbread cookies are a must (and I love my Martha Stewart recipe, she's never let me down!) as are rolled sugar cookies and my Mom's spritz cookies (vanilla & almond). I think I'll be making some chocolate and peanut butter fudge (always yummy) and I've got a one pan, easy peasy recipe for that. I think the new cookies this year will be a peppermint chocolate cookie and some biscotti. I haven't made any in a couple of years and time to dust those bad boys off. (I've got a KILLER German Chocolate biscotti that my roommates LOVED me to make.)
And of course some fresh baked cinnamon bread goes without saying. Hmmm, time to start the oven!
