Who can’t get excited about another Christmas cookie book? Not us – we love ‘em. This book from Better Homes and Gardens, Cookies for Christmas, published in 1985, has a lot of old favorites, and some recipes with a new twist. The recipes are excellent, and there are nice photos showing any special techniques needed to get the decorative appearance.
I tried to persuade Myrna to do the “meringue turtledoves” on the tray on the right, but it was a non-starter, even for someone like her who likes a challenge. There were still cookies we haven’t tried before, and lots of recipes you’ll recognize from Grandma’s or Mom’s kitchen. If you don't have their recipe, chances are you'll find it in this book.
It was enough to get us busy baking.

Was just going through some of our family favorite Christmas cookie and candy recipes yesterday. Always the top of family favorite is the cut-out sugar cookie.
ReplyDeleteThat is the favorite here also. Can't have Christmas without them.
