My husband and I are diabetic, but I love to bake. I make biscotti, scones,chocolate stained glass cookies, molasses ginger cookies, springerle, peppermint bark and lots of cut out cookies, both thin molasses ones and vanilla. I have one pig I just giggle at when I bake them, his legs get crossed every time he is baked. I collect cookie cutters and this is the time I love to use them. Unfortunately, I love to eat these kind of cookies too so I have to watch how much. It's hard to deny yourself at holiday time.

I usually do snickerdoodles, peanut butter with hershey kisses, chocolate chip, and various other kinds. I've been in a cookie baking mood for a while now and made some the other night.

Since losing weight I don't bake as much anymore but the kids always want me to make them a gingerbread house and usually I do a few boys and girls from the batch too. (I use the Martha Stewart recipe...so spicy and good!) These days I make a lot of sugar free cookies like the Splenda gingerbread, sf oatmeal/cranberry cookies and a pretty good knockoff of the Starbucks Cranberry Bliss bar. Used to always make Russian Teacakes, spritz, frosted cut-out sugar cookies, divinity and fudge.
We are having a bake sale at work to raise money for our Christmas party so I'm looking forward to some fattening baking again.

| Since a lot of my gifts are cookies and candy, along with canned sauces, etc., I make several types of cookies and am always searching for new "tried and true" recipes. I always start with my basics - chocolate chip made with a biscuit base, snickerdoodles, uncooked chocolate drops, spritz butter cookies, and of course, sugar cookies. Then I start through my recipe box, cookbooks etc. I try to make different ones each year unless something gets a request or response, then I will repeat it. You have all listed some great cookies. and I will be searching for recipes. By the way, what are Russian Teacakes? Will you share that recipe. I will start making cookies in November and freezing them for Christmas. |
