Christmas Cookies

So, do you have someone who loves to bake sweets in your family/friends? My FW loves to bake. I joke that our oven turns on the day before Thanksgiving, and turns off after New Years.
I love cookies and goodies. What are everybody’s favorites? I love the peanut butter with a Hershey’s kiss, Ritz cracker PB sandwiches dipped in fudge, and Marshmallows dipped in caramel then rolled in rice krispys.
I can eat these non stop, like I’ll have a batch gone before the next one is done!
Always looking for some new favorite goodies!

Peanut butter kiss and nut goodie. Winter crack.

Peanut butter kiss

OMG – Winter Fentanyl.

Not a better x-mas cookie ever made!

Pretzel rings with a Rolo in the middle then baked just enough to melt the Rolo so it adheres to the pretzel ring. Bite sized gold!

And the Xmas mint M&Ms…

I guess to need to get with the program. Apparently crack is out and Fentanyl is “in”.

Maybe addicts refer to drugs as Christmas cookies.

Ann makes my Grandma’s toffee covered in chocolate. She makes 5 cookie sheets at a time… several times.

Yup my wife makes these and they are the bomb. She drizzles a little white chocolate over them as well

Nut goodies. Peanuts, mini marshmallows, something else, mixed together and covered with chocolate. Im only involved with the eating part of these so no real idea how they are made.

I love to bake, and hands down, my favorite thing to bake is COOKIES! My favorites are Peanut Butter Blossoms, Peanut Butter Temptations, traditional Chocolate Chip, Ginger Cookies, Snickerdoodles, Molasses Cookies, Cut-Out Cookies with homemade frosting… the list could go on!

I have a thing for the puffed corn snack with caramel glaze. The peanut butter cookies with the kiss on top is an old favorite at holiday time. A good ginger snap is another.

My FW and kids went to town making cookies on Saturday, all while I got to get some fishin in on the Big Pond. The Peanut Butter Blossoms are by far my favorite followed by the rich Oreo Truffles! My Great Grandma used to make the BEST Molasses cookies ever. Since she passed no one I know can replicate them.. They also re-created some of the Girl Scout cookies (thin mints & somoas) and they turned out pretty darn good. I’m going to be eating cookies well into the new year I think.

Dang we should have traded the st croix rods for cookies instead. That’s a nice spread

Coffee Toffee is by far my favorite, and I love them all! It takes a lot of effort to maintain the Big of Big Werm lol. Best part of coffee toffee is it doesn’t really have coffee or toffee in it, and is super easy to make.

Recipe:
Lay out Graham crackers on a tin foil covered cookie sheet
Bring to a boil equal parts butter and brown sugar (technically the toffee part, and one cup butter & Brown Sugar should cover one pan of crackers)
Pour toffee over crackers and put in the oven at 400 for 5 minutes
Immediately after pulling from oven cover in Milk Chocolate Chips, cover with foil so they melt, and then sprinkle chopped walnuts.

I’ve been chased down and darn near tackled….He’s fast, but I’m faster, I still got away with the goods.

many years ago our neighbor lady would raid our timber for hickory nuts and make hickory nut cookies for Christmas with them.
may have to venture up to the farm this weekend to see if there is enough laying around to make a batch with.
hopefully the squirrels have them all ate so I wont find any as I would eat a whole dang batch of them of I did and I dont need em!!

Well, here at Grouse Park, it’s complicated…

As many of you know, I am one half of what is known as a “mixed marriage”.

I was born and raised in Minnesota, albeit by a family of Bohemian immigrants, so for shorthand, let’s call me “normal”.

Christmas cookies? Hell yes, pass the peanut butter kiss cookies, the dipped pretzels, etc, etc. But I don’t get very damn many. Which brings me to…

And now to Mrs. Grouse. Mrs. Grouse, on the other hand, was NOT born in this country, she was born in England. So while I happily throw myself on top of any and every pile of Christmas cookies that comes my way, she stares at me over her teacup and makes tutting noises. “When will you colonials learn?”

Mrs. Grouse makes “proper” Christmas treats, which means that we have had a traditional Christmas cake (brown spiced fruitcake made with actual candied peels imported at ruinous cost) that Mrs. Grouse baked and it has been sitting in the pantry since October. This cake has to be “fed” once per week. “Fed” is the wrong word, actually it has to be liquored up with perfectly good bourbon once per week. So this Christmas cake that I, in fact, don’t eat, has been drinking my perfectly good bourbon since October.

We also have “puddings”, shortbreads, and basically, everything BUT perfectly good cookies with Hershey’s candy melted in the middle.

Some of this English stuff is pretty good. A good Christmas pudding with rum and custard and cream has actually grown on me.

But sometimes I just want a blasted Hershey’s kiss cookie…

I don’t bake, and I am single but I buy peanut brittle now and then, the kind with coconut is the best
