Have you done any Christmas baking yet?

[C.Ann]

And if so, what have you made?

I haven't started yet, but was wondering what everyone else has made..

 

[Daxx]

Haven't started yet ... but know we'll make the "usual" -- peanut butter blossoms and sugar cookies. Will try my hand at making mexican wedding cakes b/c they're my favorites!

Will also make some chocolate dipped goodies -- mainly pretzels and oreo's. Yummy!

I just did a few cut-out sugar cookies with DS yesterday but I cheated. I bought the already rolled sugar dough and DS and I just used the cookie cutters and then used Christmas sprinkles on them. They really are pretty good though!

 

[Cindyluwho]

I've already made one batch of fudge and one batch of Mexican Wedding Cakes (Russian Tea Cakes). I use macadamia nuts instead of walnuts and it works great! We had a large neighborhood Christmas party so they went pretty fast, I may have to make another batch just to get a taste!

I've made two different shortbread cookie recipes. They were "new" recipies for me this year. I wasn't overly impressed with them so I think I'll go back to my Chocolate Chip Shortbread Sticks drizzled with chocolate.

Ummmmm..why did I ask this? Now I'm hungry!! They all sound yummy!

What's this pre-made "rolled sugar cookie cut-out dough" that was mentioned here? I don't usually go with the pre-made stuff, but this year I don't feel like doing a ton of baking from scratch, yet I want to do some cut-outs with my granddaughter.. Is it made by Pillsbury or what?

 

[The Mystery Machine]

Skipping it this year. Watching our waistlines and going back home for the holidays!!!

 

[Disneynutbsv]

I made two batches of cookies: reese's peanut butter cup and chocolate raspberry.

 

[summerrluvv]

I made chocolate covered pretzels and marshmallows and also seven layer cookies (without the nuts, so they are really six layer ones hehe). I took them to work on Friday for my co-workers. No one seemed to appreciate the gesture, so I'm going to skip that idea next year

 

[Fanci]

I made some sand tarts! Going to make some candy cane cookies too...

I found them at Wal-Mart. They are Pillsbury Sugar Dough Sheets. There are 2 sheets per pack and the package made around 2 dozen cookies. They were great for DS.

Oh that's a bummer!! I love cooking for others.

YUM! I love anything pumpkin or eggnog!

I made cranberry/white chocolate chip cookies today, and some chocolate fudge. Still have to make some nutmeg logs.....little log shaped cookies that get some frosting and sprinkle of nutmeg! They are a family standard! Mom makes them best.

 

[tiggerlover]

I spent 6 hours in the kitchen today doing all of my cookie platters. I must have made about 20 dozen or so. I made peanut butter kisses, russian tea cakes, spritz christmas tree cookies, sugar wreath cookies, orange blossoms and fudge. And I am pooped!

 

[minniecarousel]

I'll make: 7 layers bars, butter sandwich cookies, lemon bars and chocloate chip. DS's last shift at his last job (usually bartending, but was just catering this time) was for the Walnut & Almond Growers of California, so he gave me the walnuts & almonds they were given. I'll use them for sure in the layer bars - not sure what else - maybe candied almonds.

 

[Lynn CC]

Could someone share a good fudge recipe with me. I've tried to make fudge several times over the years, but it always comes out awful, but I'm willing to give it another try!
I make great shortbread cookies that everyone has to have, I usually make several batches during the holidays, I don't care for them myself so that's a good thing.

 

[Miss Jasmine]

I made Nut Rolls and Peppermint Bark today. I am going to make 7-Layer Cookies tomorrow. I think I am also going to make M&M Cookies and maybe one other, the cranberry/white chocolate chip one sounds yummy.
