What did you bake today ? OK if not from scratch

[CdnCarrie]

Graham wafer crumb cookies with Christmas m&m in them.

Thick, bakery style, chocolate chip, and walnut cookies...no joke, the size of baseballs when you bake them!

 

[hmsTigger]

Wish I had some of these recipes!

Thank you!

Also just finished making Nanaimo bars for some baking tins I’m giving for Christmas.

Bravo! Way to represent! Did you have any trouble finding the ingredients where you are? Warm Christmas wished to you from home, Sir Duff.

Joining in to say last night I made chocolate chip meringue cookies. I finally broke in my new to me KitchenAid mixer and I am a fan!

My husband does the baking . Today he made pound cakes, rum cakes, chocolate chip cookies and pfeffernusse. Tomorrow I will make toffee.

 

[marcyleecorgan]

Pancakes, macadamia nut white chocolate cookies and 5 pounds of bacon LOL

So today DW made Christmas cookies, bourbon balls and fresh apple cake.

And I didn't bake a bit of it but I did go to the store to get her ingredients. Twice. So I'm going to take a little credit.

Aww, thanks. I hope you have a happy Christmas (albeit different from what is expected).

I actually had to import a few of the ingredients:

- Birds custard powder was brought over by a friend visiting from London but one tin lasts a long time (it is actually available here in the “international foods” sections but a lot more expensive0

- Graham cracker crumbs are all but impossible to find here. Even the American Store rarely has them (they do sometimes have the pre-made graham cracker pie crusts)

- Flaked coconut is a weird one. They have desiccated coconut here that is easy to find but I don’t find that it really works as a replacement because it is really drying. I actually had some in a crepe shortly after I moved here and I really didn’t like the ”mouth feel”. I brought back a big bag of flaked coconut last time I was home, though it is available at the American Store (there is a store that is literally called the American Store here)

Funny - it was precisely the custard powder and graham cracker crumbs I was wondering about. Sounds like you got it all covered though. Don't forget to make them some butter tarts too!

I've been working on perfecting biscuits. Last night's batch was pretty close to right on the money. Making another batch today.

I know these cookies are not traditional at this time, But it is my son's birthday. I always make Turtle Cookies for him, they are his favorite. They are so good with maple flavoring and a thin chocolate icing for the shell, and pecans for the feet and head.

My husband wanted a Mandalorian cake for his birthday, so my son and I made him one. Cake was from a box, but we made the Italian buttercream and the chocolate decorations from scratch.

Allrecipes had an intriguing recipe so I tried it today: Raspberry Almond Shortbread Thumbprints. Delicious, thumbs up all around in my house

 

[cjlong88]

We made Martha Washingtons. It’s a traditional Christmas candy for us. SO GOOD.

 

[OneOftheB's]

Today I baked a cream cheese pound cake and browned butter chocolate chip cookies. I need to make banana bread before the bananas are too yucky.

I made gluten free cinnamon rolls for DD, but they won't get baked until tomorrow.
Also made an enchilada casserole for tomorrow......DS (he's hosting) decided on a Mexican feast for Christmas dinner.
