Baking

I am baking along here, trying to add my part to the holiday celebrations.  Here is a photo showing a sample of what I am doing this year.  It includes the annual toffee, ginger snaps (both with and without chocolate topping), chocolate dipped macaroons, pumpkin chocolate chip chookies, and the new kid on the block: shortbread cookies topped with chocolate and crushed candy canes.  Not shown, but maybe in a future post, are the mini-cinnamon roll cookies.  Later today I will be making Candy Cane Cookies with Chocolate Mints (Jr. Mints) and Red Velvet Cookies.  Stay tuned for how they turned out and I will share the recipe for the shortbread cookies which are really easy, but my version is an aggregate of a couple of recipes so I need to pay attention to how I did it this next time and write it down so it can be duplicated.
