Christmas Cookie Gift Box



Christmas Cookie Gift Box

I gave these out for Christmas this year. They were quite well received. The box contains:
(2) Gingerbread men dusted with powdered sugar
(4) Small gingerbread stars dusted with powdered sugar
(8) Cranberry-orange shortbread cookies
(4) Sugar cookie Christmas trees
(4) Small sugar cookie stars with white sprinkles
(4) Chunks of fantasy fudge containing walnuts

A variation when I started running out of the sugar cookie Christmas trees was to throw in two large eggnog cookies.

It was hard work. I spent an entire Sunday on my feet baking. Monday evening was spent boxing and wrapping. For me, though, it was worth it. It's not everyday I get to get this extravagant. Being a foodie, I definitely love extravagance.

Merry Christmas!

Gingerbread Cookies

Today I made another holiday classic.



Gingerbread Cookies:

Iced with a powdered sugar glaze. These holiday cut outs should be a hit.

Rocky Road Fudge

This is an old family recipe for fudge.



Rocky Road Fudge

This recipe contains: semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, margarine, mini-marshmallows, and roasted peanuts.

Thanksgiving

I wanted to post a photo of my Thanksgiving spread.



Roasted turkey, stuffing, artichoke bake (asagio & parmesan cheese), sweet potato casserole, rolls, and wine.

Delicious!
