Christmas Shortbread Cookies

I love these! I’ve made three batches because I intend to give them as gifts, but my family keeps eating them! They’re simple (they do take some time due to chilling, cooling, and letting the glaze set, but hands-on time isn’t ridiculous for scratch-made iced cookies) and they come out gorgeous – they definitely look and taste like they’ve been purchased from a professional (I make sure to make some of the Christmas trees a little crooked once in a while, just to make it convincing that I really did make them myself!) They stay soft for DAYS, the longest any of them lasted was five days and they were still just as light and airy as the day I made them. My only advice for people trying it out for the first time is to chill the dough a little bit before you try to roll it. My butter must have been too soft the first batch I tried, the dough kept sticking to my rolling mat no matter how much I floured it, and every time I cut a cookie and tried to lift it, it got smushed or torn in half. ...

Italian Christmas Cookies

This recipe  a delicious Christmas cookie. I’d like to make it as one of the desserts for my Christmas party. I made them for the first time yesterday and my family loved them! They taste as if they came straight out of a bakery! Defiantly a keeper! My grandfather from Italy was very pleased with these delicious balls of dough. My family has made these cookies for years only with Anise extract in both the dough and frosting. In Italian they are called Zuccarini. Recipe from Naples 3 generations.

Halloween and Thanksgiving I use pumpkin extract in the cookies and vanilla in the icing, for Christmas, anise flavoring in the cookies and fresh lemon juice instead of water in the icing, and for Easter, orange or lemon extract in the cookies and fresh orange or lemon juice in the icing and tint the icing with spring pastel colors. This recipes is very good and very vers...

Christmas Lasagna

I made this for our Sunday School class Christmas party. It turned out well. I think next time, I will make twice as much of the Peppermint Cheesecake Layer. It seemed thin compared to the pudding layer. Another option would be using just one box of pudding mix for the pudding layer to make the layers more even. I did not use marshmallows. I used M&M’s Baking Bits, Christmas tree sprinkles, and crushed peppermint to top the final Cool Whip layer. I loved this and it was a big hit at our party! I’m not sure if the recipe has changed since the last review, but the ounces of pudding needed seem to me to be very clear in the ingredient list. I did add some pistachios to the green layer and loved it.
