I finished off cookie baking with Brownies, Walnut Bars, Cranberry Bars, Mint Brownies, Tosetti, Ossi da Mordere, and Snow Balls. The Tosetti come from an Italian baking book and is a chunky bar cookies with candied orange peel and hazelnuts. They are very unimposing cookies and are often looked over when people are helping themselves to the cookie plate. That's fine as it means more for me! The Ossi da Mordere is a cookie basically comprised of cocoa powder, ground almonds, sugar, and egg white. When it bakes, it puffs up a bit and is sort of hollow inside thus the name translated: bones of the dead! In all, I made over 30 kinds of cookies and now get to spend the rest of the week parceling them out to distribute to friends and neighbors for Christmas gifts.
