Christmas Baking

Cookie treats
Good morning! We have baked our cookies and treats and many are on their way to family right now. The rest are in our freezer for later this week.

Gingersnaps
~Gingersnaps~

Shortbread
~Whipped Shortbread~

We also tried several new recipes this year and all were a big hit...

Tuffles
~Peanut Butter Chocolate Truffles~

Truffles
More peanut butter truffles rolled in red sprinkles. The girls and I renamed them Sugar Plum Tuffles!

Snowballs
~Chocolate Snowballs~

Almonds
~Brown Sugar Almonds~ They are so good!

There are links for the gingersnap and shortbread recipes. Scroll down on my main blog page for the other recipes. Are you busy with last minute Christmas preparations? I'm off to wrap presents!

These all look so good. I'm gaining weight just thinking about eating them. The sugared almond recipe is something like what we do with pecans.

What a nice array of cookies! Mine are similar, but different than yours and I am trying a few new ones this year. I love the little balls ones-so easy to make.
I posted a Peanut Butter Pinwheel on my blog-one of my favorites that I use to make and just found the recipe again!

All your recipes look so scrumptious! I wish I was going to be home to make some of them. Maybe when I return from my Mom's.

I think Sugar Plum Truffles is a perfect name--their rightful name. Don't things like that just give you a thrill?

Unknown said...

How yummy! I am going to start my Christmas baking this afternoon. We are snowed in so I thought why not! Yours looks fabulous!

The Raggedy Girl said...

Everything looks yummy and my time to get myself out there to the kitchen and make some cookies or a batch of candy is evaporating as I type.

You clever girl Kelli - those look fabulous. I'm going to try the shortbread recipe out as Tam wants me to make a little hamper for her boyfriend's parents to enjoy when they come down to Wales on holiday this weekend. Your ginger cookies look just like the ones I make, which are SO GOOD. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and everything you would wish yourself for 2009. Jennie xx
