Since I've been slow in the kitchen this past week, I'm sharing with you some beautiful holiday cookies my cousin Rachael made. I was so impressed with the presentation I had to snap this photo, but honestly, their flavor and texture were equally impressive. They're sugar cookies with a lemon glaze and candied cranberries. Rachael is definitely a person I'd go into business with if I decided cookies were my calling. She's just amazing.
I consider myself more of a breads and cakes person. I did make a Dorie Greenspan Fresh Ginger and Chocolate Gingerbread over the weekend and it was fabulous. It was also quick to make, as I whipped it up while my vegetarian chili was simmering. Got the recipe from one of my favorite food sites, Serious Eats.
But on to the really important stuff, I want to wish you a very Happy New Year!
I'm still working on a New Year's Resolution plan, but I already know one of the items on the list is to blog regularly. I look forward to documenting many baked goods and feeding them to others! The sooner I can unload excess on friends, the sooner I can turn to the next recipe. A person can only handle so many perishables at one time, especially with limited freezer space. And as I'm sure you'd agree, nobody likes a stale cookie!
Beautiful cookies. You should also get into food photography. Happy holidays!
ReplyDeletei agree, stale cookies suck. unless of course they are those store bought ginger snaps that are hard as a rock. they are better if they are stale.
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to help you with any excess of baked goods you might find yourself burdened with.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to eat the ginger chocolate chip cake and it was delicious!
