The Christmas kitchen has been busy of late! It’s been a good way to stay warm, being in the cozy kitchen with a wood fire going and the oven too.
Yesterday I made 2 kinds of cookies and 9 little loaves of Christmas cakes:
* Golden Apricot Cake
* Sacher Torte Cookies
* Chocolate Spritz Cookies
Sunday I made some Special Holiday Fudge -- dark chocolate, with raisins and nuts. Let it stand overnight and packaged it for the freezer yesterday.
Saturday, my granddaughter and I made some Four-Chip Fudge. It’s so easy to put together and doesn’t require a lot of stovetop time. Mostly just melting ingredients together. Even though the recipe is here in the Christmas kitchen (back in the June archives, I think) I’ll post it again now, for those who missed it and don’t have time to search.
Also in the freezer:
* Gingerbread Men
* Charleston Cherry Bars
* Whipped Shortbread
* Double-Drizzled Pecan Cookies
* Lime Spritz Christmas Trees
* Chocolate-Dipped Maple Logs
* Date-Oatmeal Cookies
* Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies
Today I hope to do some more baking and crafting. On my agenda are little loaves of Christmas Fruit Bread, hot chocolate mix, and maybe some Heavenly Delight (chocolate/peanut butter fudge).
Mrs. T. your Christmas kitchen sounds like such a cozy and yummy place to be!

Merry Christmas to you too, Kelli! Thanks for stopping by my Christmas kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI loved the photos of your home on the Christmas tour of homes. It's the only one I've taken time to look at so far. I don't know how you do it all!
