Not only can I not spell pfeffernuese, some days I have a hard time pronouncing it.
I first learned of pferffernuesse when my dad was stationed in Germany with the Air Force. I absolutely love these little spice cookies. Unlike the traditional cookies, I dip mine in a glaze. This adds a little extra sweetness.
This time of year everyone is busy making cookies. While I like the traditional cookies, I also like to add some not so traditional cookies to my mix. With the help of my hubby, I modified my regular chocolate chip cookie recipe to make White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies. These are a year round hit, but at Christmas time we get to count them as healthy because they have fruit in them.
Every year I make a ton of Christmas cookies. What my family does not consume goes to the neighbors, my husband’s office or Christmas parties. One of my favorite things to make each year is Peppermint Marshmallows.
No, I’m not talking about the classic children’s book. Wait, does a book that is less than 25 years old count as a “classic”? Ok, back on topic.
Fudge is a Christmas classic. One of the first recipes I shared with you is for Chocolate Fudge. But if you are looking for something a little extra special give these a try.
Here it is three and a half weeks till Christmas, and I have completed the December dishcloth in my series.
I was unable to find a pattern that I liked so I designed my own. I hope you find it useful. I used my favorite number 6 needles and half a skein of Peaches and Creme cotton yarn in Forest Green.
