Thanksgiving is over . . . on to Christmas Baking!

The last of the Thanksgiving leftovers created dinner last night. The refrigerator is back to it's normal, roomy state so it is time to start organizing Christmas baking. No one seems to mind the gift of a plate of homemade cookies! My husband has a thee-day weekend coming up and he will be my helper in keeping up with the dishes, chopping nuts and fruits, and keeping track of the timer. He may even be called up for a mad rush to the store for something I may forget to include on my list. I was blessed to find an outlet for Hazelnuts so will be able to make cookies that I've been anxious to try except for the lack of this particular nut. I found them on a health/vitamin site which was having a sale so got an extraordinary discount on what is usually an expensive item.

I'll post recipes and pictures as they happen in the coming days of baking. I have a few tried and true recipes that show up on every Christmas cookie plate but always sneak in a few new and adventurous ones. So far, no complaints on that!
