Holiday Goodies

I like to cook, but even more, I like to bake. One of the best things about the holidays are the yummy treats you get to make. This is a recipe for a Linzer cookie sandwich with cherry or raspberry jam filling. I made these for a Valentine's party a while ago, but cut out hearts in the middle instead. I love the powdered sugar with the tree--so cute. These are great to make because they taste so good, but aren't really heavy, so it is a nice addition to all the other sugary or chocolate stuff we eat during Christmas.

But... if only chocolate will do, this recipe is really yummy, and perfect for any chocolate craving. The name says it all: Outrageous Chocolate Cookies :) Find it here.

Happy holiday baking!
