It’s the time of year that I look forward to, for I cherish the magical trance that extends into our home from the hustle and bustle of the holiday. Yes, that’s right, my culinary cookbook club annual Christmas Cookie Exchange.
This year was another stellar presentation of delectable morsels and cookies that more than satisfy. It is always a major decision for everyone as to which recipe to select. Some of the creations served were: peanut blossoms, cardamom and saffron macaroons, raisin pecan oatmeal cookies, chocolate fudge cookies, Christmas pudding bonbons, double chocolate espresso crinkles, Nana Mirabile’s Italian Christmas cookies, almond spice sugar cookies and oatmeal almond cookies. This year my 15 year old daughter participated, too. She has become quite the cookie baker and she contributed Winterland mint cookies which were a big hit!
I chose Dorie Greenspan’s World Peace Cookies. These are over the top perfection and so easy to assemble, slice and bake. You can find Dorie’s cookie recipe here. If you don’t know Dorie, you should take the time and read her cookbooks. She is one of the most talented, personable and genuine people I know. It is always a treat to meet her, talk with her and enjoy her presentations at culinary conferences.
We want to wish you a very Merry Christmas that is filled with peace, love, joy and hope. Thank you for visiting our blog this past year and for being part of our Internet family.
