Christmas Cookies 2008

Cookie Baking 2008 is done. Early, I might add. I did 9 different cookie batches this year. 2 recipes of which I had made previously and the others were all new. I did burn my fingers during the 6th batch. Stupid me wasn't paying attention and grabbed the pan I had JUST taken out of the oven because it was in my way. Still hurts, but is going away. If that hadn't happened I would have done at least one more batch, but it is annoying to have your fingers hurting, so I lost my concentration. Now I just need to box them up for giving to their respective recipients.

The list and pictures for anyone who cares.

Church Window Candy

It appears hardly anyone knows what Church Window candies/cookies are at my work. I've seen these for so many years I thought they were universally know. They are tasty and easy to make. A girl at work had asked me for a recipe for no bake cookies or candies and she knew exactly what they were. When she brought some in the share today, most people asked what they were and I was very surprised. Here is the recipe I gave her. There are a couple ways to make them..

Church Window Cookies
No BAKE! And they only take about 10 mins to make up!
1/2 cup butter or margarine
12 ounces chocolate bits
1 cup walnuts, chopped
10 ounces colored marshmallows
14 ounces flaked coconut
Instructions:
Melt butter and chocolate bits over low heat. Allow to cool slightly. Stir in nuts and marshmallows. Spread coconut on wax paper. Divide chocolate
mixture into two rolls. Roll in coconut. Place in refrigerator for 24 hours. Cut in 1/2-inch slices.

Pretty Cake

Kyndra's 4th birthday was celebrated Sunday with yummy tacos that Nisi made and pretty cake that I made. I think that's a good combo.
