....well, I try to throw caution to the winds and enjoy a new delight during the holidays...cookies....yeah, I know-I eat the damn things all the time, but THESE little morsels have holiday cheer in them!!!!....if I am stuck in a rut-then leave me beside the highway of home-bakes and journey on without me....
maybe sugar cookies. My wife made some last night and I contributed. I helped. No, really, I did.
Plus, I washed up. The dishes. I dunno how that works out, but that's the way the cards were played. We made hearts, trees, santas, bells, motorcycles, candlesticks, and eggs, that I requested and was approved. I like all the bright colors you can make, sprinkles and other stuff you can put on them. I like prune tarts, too. And tonight she's going to make stained glass windows...I'll recognize them when I see those but I'm not positive as yet. Fudge...yeah, fudge. I'll put in a chit for fudge maybe in a day or so. Plus I got a surprise in the mail yesterday...snoozing on the couch and I hear the mailbox open and shut...was a time before I looked outside and the mailman had dropped off a box. A gift from a customer I did some work for out Big Traverse...sent a gift box with some pears from Oregon, cheese, nuts. I'm trying to remember the last time a customer either sent or handed me a Christmas gift...don't believe it happened before now.

Do I have to pick just one? 
The cookies and fudge, oh my...but what I really miss is something my Grandma always made, a German kuchen. We always called it by the German name and I have no idea how it is spelled. Oh boy is it yum-yum. I have been trying to find a recipe that sounds close, as no one seems to have it written down in the family. She passed away 7 years ago and I would really like to make some this year in her memory. And every year, keep up the tradition.

Fruit cake. I have my mom's recipes and every couple years I make up two HUGE batches. I make them in September, and if I don't give to many away they last until August. I didn't make any this year, but hubby and I have already decided I am making them next year.
I also bake cookies every year. Sugar cookies, Chocolate-cherry brownies, Ginger snaps, double Chocolate treasures, and both chocolate and white macaroons.
Those are the "must haves", and if there's time I make more.

"ALL HAIL TO THE DRINKIN' MAN".....lol
I don't know what they are called, but Ritz crackers with peanut butter in the middle and coated with white chocolate. I literally have no self control when it comes to these and should be dealt with accordingly if I'm found in the corner hording the plate fulls during the holidays.
Oh my, what Christmas goody don't I love. I would say it is a toss up between lovely eggnog or the Fudge I make with my girls....But wait, there are buckeye candies that are awesomely good too. ( buckeyes are little homemade Reese cup like candies oh yummy) Can I pick everything lol??
Love the Buckeye candy...They are so addicting.
Good call, you might be able to quickly switch out the plate of Ritz cracker treats for a bottle of Irish Whiskey...but make it quick!I'll remember to keep my hands away from your mouth.......
My mom makes these coconut/pecan bonbons, coated in dark chocolate... Good Lord, just thinking about them makes my mouth water...
We welcome you with open arms, Mz. Flake!
