A slinky, a birdhouse, a pile of rocks and a plate of cookies.
It is Christmas time. And my [extended] family, probably not unlike others, struggle year upon year about whether to give big gifts or little gifts, pile grab bag gifts or make homemade gifts. Are the gifts getting too expensive? Is the family getting so big that we still buy gifts for everyone? How about an exchange? Couple gifts? Family gifts? No gifts? What does your family do?
And yet, it… [more]
"Oh Cookie Time, Oh Cookie Time"
I cannot help but sing many different songs to the tune of “Oh Christmas Tree.”
I make up words to this tune, silly words, while driving the kids around town. And I could just as easily make up a holiday-cookie-baking version of the song… if I really wanted to.

rum raisin shortbread cookies
My father used to eat, or rather devour, a rum raisin bread pudding that his mother made.

I have hidden, sneaked, stuffed and murmured this recipe. I have not shared it. In fact, to this day I recall being asked for it and conveniently ‘forgetting’ the request. It is so good, such a shoo-in for hitting hero-like status—that one does not want to share the spotlight.
I made this recipe this Christmas for Santa, along with my kids who were decorating fiends, because the existing cookies… [more]
Snowball Cookies
I have powdery, sugary, pecan embedded glorious butter ball cookies sitting on my windowsill. They look like a row of snowballs, blissfully unaware that they are resting, warm and moist, on the inside. Snowball cookies are a perfect treat for this time of year. Meant to melt in mouths, this sweet cookie delivers more than the snow that melted in my mouth as a child. I used to pour… [more]
