Jackie’s gone Christmas cookie crazy 2009!!!

I had a bit of spare time and a lot of extra chocolate this holiday season so I started dipping and whipping up a storm of Xmas cookies. When I finally finished and I looked back at the boxes of over twenty types of goodies I’d made, the thought did cross my mind that I might need some sort of intervention. I also decided that next year, if I am feeling cookie compelled I would get some elves —if it’s good enuf for Santa… I shared them, I traded them, I gifted them and even had some hand delivered to Trinidad. Needless to say I spread them around and made a few folks very happy.

Baked Goodies:

  • Stained Glass Shortbread: candied ginger, currants, cranberries and apricot shortbread
  • Prosperity Cookies: turbinado sugared chocolate dollar signs so all who eat them embody more sweeter profits in 2010
  • Peppermint Topped Chocolate Candy Canes: chocolate dipped, cinnamon chocolate shortbread with a little crushed peppermint “snow” on top
  • Xmas Trees Sandwich Cookies: raspberry jam filled w/ chocolate garlands, tiny candy canes & gingerbread sprinkles and ivory balls
  • Lemon Curd Stars: luscious lemon curd in delicate shortbread (not pictured)
  • Espresso Dusted Chocolate Cinnamon Stars: cinnamon chocolate shortbread drizzled with chocolate and dusted with espresso sugar
