Holiday Baking!

[ultraviolet]

So I get to make like 12 varieties of cookies! Double chocolate mint cookies, chocolate chip cookies (with holiday morsels), kalachy cookies, peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, snickerdoodles, Andes cookies, candy cane cookies, chocolate peanut florentines, and a few others. I'm also making basic chocolate chip cookies (I think), and peanut butter rice krispie treats (with cocoa rice krispies) as well as chocolate cheesecake brownies and homemade fudge.

Does anyone else around here participate in holiday baking or have a family tradition of doing so? It seems like I have a really odd family (or just mother) since we always make tons of goodies for the holiday season.

Summary:
-I make lots of cookies/goodies for xmas/new year's
-Does anyone else?

[Setari]

[Belerion]

I usually do a white chocolate/milk chocolate cheescake swirl... it looks really neat when it's done. I also make a pumpkin chiffon pie that's to die for. (Yeah, I know, Thanksgiving is over)

[EineBeBoP]

Post the recipies please!

Just slap squeeky around if and make him type them all out, if you dont wanna.

[Belerion]

At work right now. If I can find the recipie for the cheescake, I'd be more than happy to share. Can't give out the pumpkin one, it's the whole family secret thing.

My mom just made her christmas cookies, however, pseudo-botched the dough recipe, and now they are as fragile as 1337 fux.


Still good, just fragile.

My housemaste is in the process of getting us all fat for winter baking cookies and making chocolates.

[Rayder]

You got a maste in your house!!??!1 That feeds you!

[Fragmatic]

I make lots of Mac&Cheese :D

[Spider]

I usually make a steak marinated in honey wine... slow cooked with different spices.

Once it's ready drink it with an old porto. Delicious... aside from that... Human liver! You can replaced the porto with black and gold original sake straight from kyoto. Really depends on the mood...

[Chaaos]

Ahh i thought this thread was gonna be about the holidays for people who smoke weed or something. hehe jk

[ultraviolet]

I will post recipes in a bit. After I finish using them, probably. =p

[jupe]

i bake all the time. i don't use holidays as an excuse.

when i went to a lan party, i baked 9 dozen chocolate chip cookies. ask hamma. he was my roomie :)

all i need is a really good shortbread recipe since shortbread is my favourite :D

[Hamma]

Indeed, good cookies :brow:

[ultraviolet]

Oooh, I got 2 cookie books recently... I'll check if there's a shortbread recipe!

Holidays aren't an excuse to bake... They're an excuse to bake a lot. I usually have a baking project a week or slightly more often. It depends on how quickly the flatmates eat the goodies.

[Neon Apocalypse]

i eat ham, thats about it...with pickles...we buy our cookies...so there

[BUGGER]

I try to stay away from cookies.....I always eat the dough....But i make teh traditional Chocolate Chip cookies, some fudge, and something random outa teh cook book.


But I help make teh X-mas dinner.

[SkunkPunk]

i like to go to my grocery store... wait outside grab some unsuspecting lady stick a fork in her arm... rip off her flesh... boil for 5 minuests, stir, let it sit for 2-3 minuets, add soup mix, and serve!

But I help make teh X-mas dinner.Yeah man, I totally agree. I ususally like the dough better then the cookies, with few exceptions. :groovy: :love:

[ultraviolet]

Chocolate chip cookie dough is the best!

Oh, and it looks like I will also be making some more sandwichy cookies with chocolate in the middle. :)

[Setari]

my mom is having a dessert party tonight...all kinds of stuff....chest pie, things called haystacks, the almond bark stuff i described in previous post, muffins, lots of stuff :D

[Rayder]

chest pie
:confused:

sandwichy cookies with chocolate in the middle.
sandwichy cookies with choclate in the middle... what descriptiveness. What kind of dough is it, what kind of chocolate? Do they taste good? Can I have some?

[Setari]

chest pie = coconut

[Rayder]

So why don't they just say 'coconut pie'?

[Setari]

there's other things involved.....i have no other idea cuz i dont bake :rolleyes:

[Onizuka]

I eat everything bare. What asshole decided to put marshmellows in good cereal...

And why do people put nuts in everything?! I love Brownies and Banana Bread, but i hate nuts in them, they taste terrible and totally ruin the texture in everyway.

[ultraviolet]

The cookies are called "chocolate dreams" and I've never made them before. It looks like your basic vanilla/sugar/egg/flour dough with semisweet chocolate in the middle.

Better description?

[Tavin]

I can't bake if my life depended on it. Wife bakes, her sister bakes and her mother owns a bakery-- I suspect the house will be filled with cakes, pies and cookies this Christmas.

[Squeeky]
