From a vintage cookbooklet in my collection |
~ last year's baking list ~ |
1) I purchased two large bags of the wonderful 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour from Bob's Red Mill.
This works beautifully in Christmas cookies. The xanthan gum is already added and it's formulated to work in your regular recipes. It does not work in breads, but works very well in cookies. Last year was the first year I'd heard of this flour, and I was so pleased with how it performs. If you live in New England, I recommend purchasing this in a Market Basket supermarket. The price is far more reasonable than other sources I've looked at.
2) I bought a new nut chopper!

And I almost forgot this one:
3) Bought two rolls of parchment paper at the Dollar Tree. I will often make multiple batches and varieties of cookies on a typical day of Christmas baking, so it's really helpful to use parchment paper and not have to wash the cookie sheets until I am all finished for the day. It was a happy day for me when I discovered parchment paper at Dollar Tree!
Are you thinking about Christmas baking yet? Have you made any plans?
I'll have to look up that flour! I also use the parchment papers for cookie baking.
ReplyDeleteWow, I just found I had not replied to this comment, Luludou! I recently tried the parchment cupcake papers for muffins. Oh my -- that worked so well. I will be buying those on a regular basis.
