I mentioned in another thread that Rick is complaining about the lack of cookies in the house. So I thought I'd do a thread where we can talk about what we're making this year for Christmas and include some pictures. I love seeing pictures.
Our Cookie list (thus far):
Chocolate chip cookies
White chip and macadamia nut cookies
Cream cheese spritz cookies
Hershey's kiss peanut cookies (Rick is really hungry for these)
Rolled and cut sugar cookies
Sand tarts (Geez, but I do love sand tarts. I found a good recipe for them on Pinterest and it's a keeper)
Peanut butter cookies (Again, for Dear Richard)
And whatever else we decide on making (Rick said he really doesn't want Snicks because I make them often throughout the year)
I've been thinking about making Stollen. Rick's mom used to make Stollen at Christmas and he reminded me about it yesterday while we were working on the tree. When we were kids, our grandmother made sugared popcorn. It was just popped popcorn that she poured melted sugar over and mixed in. She made red and green, using food coloring. I think I'm feeling a bit nostalgic this year as I'm thinking about making some.
Almond brittle is on my list. I'm also thinking about making marshmallows to go with our hot cocoa.
We always roast peanuts and cashews. We get the nuts at a local distributor. I love sugared pecans.
What about you? What's on your holiday treat list?
