It's getting closer!
So today I am combing numbers 5 and 6. That's okay though, because this holiday treat is so large that it deserves to have two days.
Before I went to work today, I started my CHRISTMAS BAKING! That's right, I made cookies. They're not typical Christmas cookies that are found in most households, but in my family, it's just not Christmas without them. We call them Happy Day Cookies. They're all chocolaty and coconuty and some people put nuts in them. Today I made around five dozen and I'll probably make more when school is finished. Christmas is the one day a year that I am allowed to have whatever I want for breakfast (yea, I know, my mom still tells me what I can and can't do) and that is what I have. Christmas goodies.
Happy Day Cookies aren't the only treats we have though. We always a variety of other cookies, cakes and nibbles that complete our Christmas meals. Needless to say, a big part of Christmas is the sugar!
Since the Christmas baking is such a necessaty and there are so many possibilities, here is the list of my Top 10 Favourite Christmas Yum-Yums!
10. Candy cane cookies. Basically sugar cookies, but it's red and white cookie twisted together to look like a candy cane. Makes sense, right?
9. Neopolitan cookies. Red, white and green stripes. My mom usually puts cherries in them too.
8. Peanut Butter balls.
7. Chocolate Cake. Gonna be honest, don't really eat cake, but it still warms my heart to see it on the table.
6. Fin Hagel. I don't even remember if that's you spell it. Not too sweet, not to plain. Almonds on top and a light cinnamony flavour.
5. Mincemeat tarts. It's my grandma's specialty every year. Very classic as far as I'm concerned.
4. Sugar cookies. Duh.
3. Shortbread. Again, duh. I think my dad would probably cancel Christmas if we missed the shortbread.
2. Cheesecake.
1. HAPPY DAY COOKIES! You would not believe how many of these things I scarf down during the holidays. Bring it pn cookies! Bring it on!
Let me know what your "It's not Christmas with out it..." goodies are!
19 more days! Woohoo!
