Baking Delight - Cookies!

Holiday baking.

It is that time of year again when Mrs. DL and I spend hours in the kitchen baking for the holidays. Her specialty are the cookies for Christmas while I enjoy simply baking artisan breads. My favorite is my version of Panettone and my Grandmother's cardamom bread.

Caramel Brickle Cookies and Peanut butter Cup Cookies

Mrs. DL's Wreath Cookies.

Wreaths and Haystacks



Chocolate Haystacks

Fantastic looking cookies and I bet they taste just as good. Unfortunately, I spend waaaay toooo much time eating these things from Thanksgiving through the end of the year.

Wow! These cookies look absolutely gorgeous! I would try one of each for sure! :-)

Midwesterners were born with a baking gene that I did not get down here. My grandchildren think Slice and Bake with gobs of sprinkles and sugar are "homemade" at Mumsie's. Don't let the secret out of the bag! I want two dozen of those brickles ones please.
