Christmas Cookies: Review


I have named December 27th Broken Cookie Day. Coffee, board games, and picking through the ravages of the cookie plate.

This year I made: 

mint chip bark
chocolate peanut butter date balls
apple cider caramels
lemon cookies
chocolate-vanilla swirls
sugar cut-outs
chocolate crinkles
pecan fingers
chocolate mint kisses
cardamom shortbread
krumkake


Biggest hits:

apple cider caramels (when people bothered)
cardamom shortbread (okay, I obsessed)


Then there's the Alton Brown episode on pinwheels I saw after I made mine. 


Krumkake is fun but really more of a fresh treat. And prepare to do a lot of standing around. One minute per side per cookie. Next year I may have Dean look for a second iron, then I'll have a bit more to do.
