Christmas Cookies!

[leechlake]

Since Del is one of the few that posts baking stuff I thought I'd post Mrs. Double L's (I wish!) beginnings round of Christmas Cookies , frosting to be added to sugar cookies on right.  As much as I like cooking, besides bread I never bake anything (probably because smoked cookies are gross).  She also did the white chocolate pretzel rods not pictured.  She's so patient with baking that it's all used up when it comes to me.  I wish she'd learn to make Krumkake...old Scandinavian delicacy.  I can do without the Rosettes, little greasy but the powdered sugar is excellent.  Next up for her are the peanut butter cookies with a kiss on top.  What's your favorite Christmas cookie?  Mine are those green wreaths made with corn flakes and marshmallows with two red hots on top.

I think cold smoking chocolate would work.  Hmmm.  If I didn't cold smoke I heard there's a guy with an anti-gravity smoker that would keep it from dripping anywhere.  Forgot his name though.

Good job to the Mrs , LL. I really don't have a favorite since all of them are hard to resist.  My God where did the year go, Christmas cookies already. .

[RebelSS]

I want some. 

[Boar]

me too..I just had a bowel of waffle crunch... I prefer Xmas cookies.

I have to say those peanut butter cookies with a kiss on to are in my top five, a really good properly made molasase cookie, I like the classic xmas sugar cookie with frosting in the middle of two, dunked in almondbark.

I loved all of them too, Boar. My Mom used to make these ones that she just called "date bars"......dates with oatmeal and something else on the outside, they were square...those were my favorite. The frosted green xmas tree sugar cookies, soft. Oh, how I miss xmas cookies.

Call me a purist but the frosted sugar cookies or spritz cookies are still far-and-away my favorite.  Or those sweedish butter cookies you get in a tin - I could eat the whole thing in one sitting.

[Boar]

Date bars..................oh yeah.....those.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, cookies.

The Mrs whipped up these hot cocoa cups, sugar cookie cup, chocolate ganache with super mini mellows and a pretzel handle,  she sure is a crafty one..really good but don't ask me what a ganache is..lol

[delcecchi]

Chocolate ganache is just melted chocolate thinned with heavy cream until it is pourable, or spreadable.

Thanks del, I'll stick to the non baking part

Bobberineyes,I showed my wife and daughters your wife's cookies and they are wondering if she would share the recipe? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I cold make two of those beauties before I'd lose focus and I'd make the ganache into a dip/fondue and put the other three items on a plate surrounding it.  I don't know how the women folk can be so patient with cookies and so impatient with some of us fellas.
