110913 Lebkuchen

These German Christmas cookies are terrific for the season!! It's best to make this recipe during the holidays as it'll be easier to find all the ingredients. Very nice aroma in the kitchen and the cookies are so very soft, flavorful and just the right amount of sweetness! Pretty easy to make since you throw everything in the food processor! Too bad the recipe only yields ~2doz. I plan on making this recipe again before the year's up.

090113 Chocolate Mint Snadwiches

Plan on using a good amount of powdered sugar when rolling out the dough - it gets very sticky. These cookies are way too sweet, even without the glaze! And, I don't really care for the chocolate cookie (a bit dry). Probably won't repeat the recipe again and too bad I forgot to take a picture for the blog :(. Good thing it wasn't a favorite!!

080413 Coconut-Cream Cheese (Pinwheels)

These cookies are sweet enough without the jelly. The recipe is a bit time consuming...not quite worth the effort. I thought the folding the ends to the middle was just as good as making pinwheels. My cream cheese filling was a little chunky but not too bad. Be generous with the flour when rolling out the dough.
