I cannot decide, there are so many cookie recipes I want to do this year

I give ‘em to family friends and the food shelf so it’s an event and it’s a lot of fun for me

I’m up to eight, I think? Let’s see

Sugar made with the Tahitian vanilla (it makes them taste like pancakes it’s great)
Gingerbread
Pfeffernusse
Thumb prints (raspberry and apricot)
Brown butter chocolate chips with m&ms
Cranberry orange shortbread
Brown butter Rice Krispie treats (I think that counts as a cookie)
Coconut date balls
Cream cheese sprinkle cookies

Nine :sunglasses: I might not get to them all - the cookie tins are already looking at me like you’re kidding right

I’m going to mix and freeze the dough as I go I’m not doing the six-cookie night like I did in 2017 my back spasmed up at around 2am and I had to take a break lol

I have a million blueberries frozen from the summer so I want to do something with that since they are in the snowy freezer

And I ran out of Cortland apples but they just cropped up locally so I’m going to process apples for apple pie filling

Well friends, I now have 5 doughs down in the ol’ freezer. Actually 4 doughs one finished cookie- the thin mints :)

Couple things this is a great recipe is Sally’s baking addiction’s recipe and she did a great job with it

It won’t be a pretty cookie unless you are very good at dipping things neatly in chocolate which I am not. But it is an amaaazing cookie.

I took the slice and bake route mostly because I didn’t want to shove tons of cookie sheets in my fridge if I didn’t have to- I just made little marks on a paper where 1/4” slice should be and eyeballed it.

I used peppermint essential oil instead of extract and that was a good decision. 8 drops for the dough 6 drops for the chocolate.

This was time consuming but I would do it again for sure. Also made the brown butter chocolate chip dough and I attached a picture of what I think is the ideal color for brown butter if you ever make it- you want to stop right after it has stopped foaming so much and it’s like a caramel color. Also smells like pecans at that stage

We’re getting down to the wire!

Having family up for Christmas so I’ve been getting my holiday geek hat on

Planning to put a little cassis liqueur (I would have used raspberry but we have this on hand) with some rosemary in sparking wine/champagne when everybody gets here, I will definitely take name suggestions for that drink. Holly jolly? Rudolph’s nose?

You could always do a non alcoholic version with sparkling cider and a little juice, but don’t forget the rosemary!

I have nine types cookies in the freezer, all the ones mentioned before plus thin mints, a gluten free chocolate chip cookie

And two I’m still going to make

:)

Also making an egg nog cake, bread and cinnamon rolls at some point

Last night I made Ina Garten’s spiced sugared nuts and here’s the recipe: don’t follow it to the T unless you like really spicy nuts I only added half the amount of chipotle powder and I was still trying to add enough sugar to balance it.

I would probably quarter the chipotle power and test it before you add more.

These nuts can be really addictive if you’re having a party and they’re a great addition to any charcuterie board. They also last a long time. I keep them in a big tin and I’m planning on bringing some to a New Years party we’re going to as well, they keep very well since there’s no dairy in the recipe.

I honestly don’t think I could have been this productive without the Negentropic Pulser so I’m really grateful for it - has really gotten me through all the late nights!

Isn’t this a thread for cooking? I recommend making a new topic thread for this as this can potentially cause conflict / tension / debate between other users @Eli

Ok last Christmas pic I promise

here’s all of it ! Some cookies not pictured

I forgot to take a picture of the bacala I made (this one is somebody else’s pic) but it’s amazing it’s salt cod with olive oil, garlic, black olives and celery and it’s like a cold salad that’s usually eaten on Christmas Eve but we ate it Christmas Day this time
