*my stomach is growling*
Geez, I got hungry for some cookies after reading all these posts lol.
My fave are sugar, chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies. I remember when I was growing up my mom would make fingerprints cookies (peanut butter balls with a Hersheys kiss pressed on top of it). So yummy! I need to go shopping for new Xmas cookie cutters so I can make some cookies soon!
 
Man, Now I'm definitely drooling big time by reading all those posts and wanting to eat all of them haha but anyway, Chocolate chips, The no-bake oatmeal chocolate cookies and the peanut butter ball w/ the hershey kisses on top of it are what I normally would eat at christmas but heck, I eat them all year around. Oh I forgot to add the Macamadia Nut cookies and the banana nut bread too. Talk about Yummy! :D

No no...simply that's too much--*winks*...although, a correction was done that calls for 'one cup of Crisco' instead. Sure be something IF you already made this before the correction... :whistle:

All these cookies....am surprised 'Cookie Monster' is no where to be seen :smoking: ...hmm...

Right now, sorry to disappoint some of you, but don't have any receipes to share at the moment, all I do is...well, you got it...Take 'em out of the oven and EAT 'EM! MMmmmmm....:)
 
I'll have some steak , ceasar salad and an orange to peel and eat and drink alots
of water then after wards go out and do physical training then still have enegry. Chocolate cookies are good with a helping of milk .... but the enegry crash from the sugar is terrible...I learned to have alittle of milk and cookies once or maybe twice a week that is it. Enjoy chomping on chocolate chip cookies and milk .... sure brings back good and positive memories.
 
Homemade Hot White Chocolate


Hiya... I always make sugar cookies every year and also my mom always make a perfect simply fudge. I can find a recipe if you want! BUT I know this is off topic! DEFINITELY I gotta share with you this kind of hot cocoa. I made it once a while but I wanted this to be offical traditional treat for christmas! It is VERY GOOD yet....it is rich! YUMMY!!!

I would put crushed candy cane or mini cane for garnish! YUMMY!!


Ingredients
3 cups half-and-half or light cream*
3/4 cup vanilla-flavor baking pieces or vanilla-flavor candy coating, chopped
3 inches stick cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Slivers of vanilla-flavor candy coating (optional)
Ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions
1. Combine 1/4 cup of the half-and-half or light cream, vanilla baking pieces or chopped candy coating, stick cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan; whisk over low heat until vanilla baking pieces or candy is melted. Remove stick cinnamon.
2. Add remaining half-and-half or light cream. Whisk until heated through. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and almond extract. Serve warm in cups or mugs; top with slivers of vanilla-flavor candy coating and sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired. Makes 5 (6-ounce) servings.
*Note: To reduce fat, you may substitute low-fat milk or evaporated fat-free milk for the half-and-half.
Tip: To create the foamy layer on top, blend some of the hot chocolate mixture in a blender container until frothy, and add to each serving.


Enjoy!!! ;)

I have never baked my own stollen. I always went to the German store to buy some stollens. I am curious if it is hard to make a stollen? Can you give me the recipe for it, please? Thanks

I baked 6 different cookies and Stollen yesterday. It will be other cookies next week.

Here is German Christmas Stollen




500g white flour
2 teaspoon Bake powder
175g cold butter
175g sugar
1 teaspoon of muskat
2 teaspoon of vanilla sugar
Pinch salt
250g Quark (0% fat)
Few drops of lemon essential oil
¼ liter 80% alcohol Rum (recommend “Stroh 80”
2 eggs
200g raisin
100g sultana
50g chopped dried fruit (orange, lemon & cherry)
150g very finely grated nuts

Soak raisins and sultanas with Rum & little water in the small bowl and cover with lid. Leave it for 2 hours or more…

Preparation:

Add bake paper on the tray.

Flour, bake powder, salt, sugar, spice (muskat) and butter into electric mixer and beat until they are fine crumbles, then add eggs, Quark & lemon essential oil until they are dough.

Remove dough from machine and put dough on preparation grated nuts on the table.

Remove raisins and sultana from Rum and dried them with clean tea towel, then add to dough with chopped dried fruits. All in dough knead with the help from nuts until they are smooth. Form the stollen like loaf bread and put on the prepared bake paper tray.

Bake with fan oven 150C for 50 to 60 minutes or Gas 2 to 3 mark.

Paint 100g melt butter on hot ready loaf and then sprinkle icing sugar on it...


Any questions? :D

Good Luck :thumb:

P.S. Nut haters including me, don't worry - it does not taste nuts when you tried stollen :thumb:

What on Earth are muskat and sultana?

EDIT:
Never mind, I researched it on my own:

Muskat = nutmeg
Sultanas = golden raisins

Seems easy enough. I think I will try and make it this weekend before flying to New Jersey. My father loves stollens and I think he would be pleased with a homemade one. Thank you for the recipe, Liebling!

Occhhh, thank you for fresh my old memory about "Muskat". Yes, that´s NUTMEG... :giggle: I forget the English word for Muskat when I translate into English.

Yes, we have 2 different colors of golden raisins (sultana) and very dark raisins.

Correction:

200g golden raisins (sultana)
100g raisins (very dark "black" raisin)
