Prairie~Phlox Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Or candies you make? My list for the year- Peanut Butter Blossoms Chocolate Crinkles Chocolate Covered Oreos Cookie Dough Truffles still thinking about what else I want to make, probably not very many things since I'll go to a cookie exchange and share things at my SIL's. So what's on your list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda in VT Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 So far this year I'm planning on these: * peppermint bark * fudge (I have a no-cook recipe) * seven-layer bars * gingerbread men * sugar cookies We also made a batch of the saltine cracker toffee, but it didn't quite turn out right (the 14yo's first attempt at making it), so we were obligated to eat it all up that night.

lmrich Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 My part of the cookie buffet - buckeyes (peanut butter balls with chocolate), gingerbread men, chocolate cut-out cookies, sugar cut-out cookies, green wreathes made out of corn flakes and marshmallows and green dye, lemon poppy seed cake (as gifts). Then I will make cinnamon buns (I am going to try the WTM version). I also want to make a hummingbird cake, but it is too much food. I will have to make that for Easter. My sister - Chinese New Year cookies, date balls, and chocolate dipped white cookies My mom - spritz, Mexican Tea cakes, chex mix, coffee cake Can you see why a long hike/walk is one of our new traditions?

RoughCollie Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Russian Teacakes Date-Nut Cookies (similar to Hermits) Chocolate Chip Cookies Peanut Butter Cookies French Almond Cookies Sugar Cookies Gingerbread Boys and Girls Cakes Cinnamon Rolls Meringue Cookies Fudge Truffles Cream Puffs (a new tradition because I've been wanting them for months) For everything that has nuts, I bake an extra batch without them because DS1, for some unfathomable reason, does not like nuts.

Nakia Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 We've already done gingerbread cookies for the girls and snickerdoodles to send to my brother's platoon in Afghanistan. I am baking sugar cookies and snickerdoodles this week for our AWANA party. I always do a tin of treats for everyone in the family, and this year I am planning peppermint bark, butterscotch hatstacks, oreo truffles, and some kind of cookies, probably sugar cookies because they are the easiest. I will probably do some brownies too. On Christmas morning, I will be making Quiver's cinnamon rolls for the first time ever, and I am super excited! :D Reading your posts make me want to bake more. I love baking treats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lulubelle Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 the best thing I bake for the holiday is "Christmas Bread". My mother got the idea from some magazine when I was little and we all loved it! My children love it! It is regular home made bread rolled out and twisted, with butter and colored sugar in the middle. It is suppose to be made into a wreath or Christmas tree shape on the cookie sheet, but I've started to just make them all separate because I am awful at the design. Then, it is topped off with regular white frosting! Ultimate dessert bread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandra Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Is recipezaar now food.com? That's all I'm finding. Would you mind sharing which recipe you use? There are 27 different recipes. Here's a recipe I use & like, if you want Title: Cranberry Upside-Down Cake Yield: 8 Servings Ingredients 12 oz fresh cranberries; (12 to 14 ounces) 4 tb butter 2/3 c sugar *****BATTER***** 2/3 c flour 1 ts baking powder 3 eggs 1/2 c sugar 1 orange rind; grated 3 tb butter; melted Instructions 1) Preheat the oven to 350F. Place a baking sheet on the middle shelf of the oven. 2) Wash the cranberries and pat dry. Thickly smear the butter on the base and sides of a 9 x 2 inch round cake pan. Add the sugar and swirl the pan to coat evenly. 3) Add the cranberries and spread in an even layer over the bottom of the pan. 4) For the batter, sift the flour and baking powder twice. Set aside. 5) Combine the eggs, sugar, and orange rind in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of hot but not boiling water. With an electric mixer, beat until the eggs leave a ribbon trail when the beaters are lifted. 6) Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, folding in well after each addition. Gently fold in the melted butter, then pour over the cranberries. 7) Bake for 40 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the inside edge to loosen. 8) To unmold, while the cake is still warm place a flat plate on top of the pan, bottom-side up. Holding the pan and plate tightly together with potholders or oven gloves, quickly flip over. Carefully lift off the pan. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Contributor: The Ultimate American Cookbook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariannNOVA Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Oh, well -- fabulous AGA cooker this year BUT totally overwhelmed with stuff going on and driving back and forth to NJ from VA just about every week. BUT: My incredibly abbreviated baking/preparing list: Royal Icing Mitten Cookies Ree's Sea Salt Truffles and maybe a break apart candy -- not sure though, that might be the thing that puts me over the edge.

sagira Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Soft, chewy oatmeal cookies.. no raisins. That's the way we like it here - and it disappears quite fast. I'm seven months pregnant, tired, and not up for baking anything else. Today we're going to a Cookie Exchange. It should be fun :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoffeeChick Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 :drool5: All these lists are making me hungry! I'm not doing so much this year, but I will be making: gingerbread cookies and sugar cookies for the kids to decorate peppermint bark peanut brittle fudge spiced nuts and if I am feeling really ambitious, hard candy for dh, because they are his favorites.

Jen in PA Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I have already made: sugar cookies peanut butter cookies chocolate with white chips gingerbread dipped pretzel rods spiced nuts cheesecake dark chocolate-ginger cookies Some of those will be repeated, plus I'm still planning on these: jam thumbprints Nutella thumbprints almond bark gingersnaps snickerdoodles nutmeg cookies lemon tea loaf cranberry-orange bread walnut bread peanut butter fudge chocolate fudge iced apple scones chocolate dipped shortbread Last year I made delicious homemade peanut butter cups but they were A LOT of work, so I'm not sure if I will do them again. Cheesecake is my new favorite thing to make -- I have been making it crustless so that I can eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be a different recipe. Thank you!!! I have read that recipe through so many times, and I just couldn't see why not make choco chip and then put the mint on the top. It must be a different recipe! I'll get chocolate cookie dough, and then put the mint on top. That should do it!! Thanks again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A home for their hearts Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 We usually have Cut out sugar cookies ( 2 different kind, some with icing, and and some with chocolate chips and sugar on top) 7 layered cookies Pum Chocolate Fudge Pretzels with a hershey kiss on top heated up in the oven long enough for the kiss to get soft and then press an m&m on top of it...yummy!

Denisemomof4 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm cutting WAY back this year. I normally bake for weeks but I'm going to be gentle on myself this year. I'm going to quadruple the apricot cookies I make every year, and do the same with the anise cookies. Those two are the biggest hits here so I'm focusing mainly on them. I'll do some chocolate dipped almond cookies and will also make a platter of rice crispie snowmen. Nice and easy this year. On top of that we will have pies and other treats, but instead of doing like 8 different cookie recipes this year, I'm going to focus on our favorites.
