Yesterday began Christmas cooking baking! We were ALL awake around 6am so I pulled the butter out to let it begin to soften & get an early start on baking. I didn't take into account our very unFlorida-like cold weather (seriously, it was around 30 when I woke up in the morning!) & two hours later my butter felt as hard as when I took it out of the fridge.
I really want to find a new cookie to try this season (the newest issue of Taste of Home had some good-sounding recipes in it) but there are several cookies that I grew up with at Christmas time that I must make now. No matter what else, I always make these three:
1. Snowballs (pecan shortbread rolled in powdered sugar)
2. Pecan Tassies (they taste like bite-size pecan pies!)
3. Peanut Butter Blossoms (peanut butter cookies with a hershey kiss in the middle - one of Ray's favorites!)
Addison was a very good helper.
The girls really enjoyed the peanut butter blossoms. Shortly after this photo Kate had chocolate all over her face!
A productive baking morning!
I think I did this baking earlier in the month than I normally do so I feel like I should have more time to try some new recipes now!
