Christmas Baking

This past week my daughters and I did lots and lots of baking.  We packaged and gave to teachers,
friends and co-workers. 

We made . . .

Fudge

Saltine Toffee

Candy Popcorn

Chocolate Mint Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Peanut Butter Kisses Cookies

Sugar Cookie Bites

and Gingerbread Cookies

Mmmm!

In our home, we love anything sweet!  I recently came across a new recipe for sugar cookies and decided to give them a try.  My daughter, Isabelle, and I decorated the cookies with pink, lime green and white royal icing.  They were delicious.  My problem in the past with cut-out sugar cookies is they spread too much and loose their shape.  Because this recipe did not contain any baking powder, the cookies kept their shape very well.  This recipe is a keeper.  I found the recipe at http://www.annies-eats.com/ They have some great video tutorials and recipes.
