Rose’s Christmas Cookies<\/a><\/em> (1998) Rose Levy Beranbaum<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Rose's<\/a>You can tell it’s getting colder–I’m starting to obsess over baking books and looking and possible Christmas cookies. (NOTE: This is the ONLY Christmas thing I am interested in. I don’t want to hear Christmas music or see decorations until AFTER Thanksgiving.)<\/p>\n

I very much liked the pictures, as they looked like cookies a normal human could manage to make (that’s always a big thing with me–I am daunted by perfect looking food.)<\/p>\n

There are a lot of regional type recipes here, (although there was no recipe for kruscuki), which I enjoyed looking at, although many of the recipes didn’t look to be my kind of cookies, though they looked fun to try and make.<\/p>\n

There were several ideas I saw that I really liked–one of which was edible tempura color–you decorate\/paint your cookies before baking. I find that very appealing, although I totally suck at decorating cookies and cakes.<\/p>\n

I also found a recipe for pecan tassies–I have had on many occasions little nut roll cookies at Christmas, but have yet to find a recipe that looks like what I enjoy eating. This looks close, and could possibly be modified to what I’m thinking. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

The other recipe that caught my fancy was a meringue with processed bittersweet chocolate. That looks REALLY interesting.<\/p>\n

There are several other recipes I think I’d like to try, but every year I come up with seemingly hundreds of Christmas cookies I want to make, and have to limit it to about ten different kinds of cookies.<\/p>\n

We’ll see how things turn out.
