does anyone know a good christmas cookie recipe?

Answer 1

Lemon butter crisps

3 cups milk
6 egg whites
1.5 cups sugar
1.5 cups lemon juice
1 cup flour
1.5 cups baking soda
1/2 teaspoon (NOT tablespoon) of salt
5 drops yellow food coloring (Durkee)
1/2 stick of unsalted butter

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix egg whites, milk, sugar and flour in a large mixing bowl until smooth, then set aside.

Combine lemon juice and food coloring in small measuring cup, stirring with teaspoon. You want it to look VERY yellow, so don't be afraid to add more coloring. You want the lemon butter crisps to be yellow and not crispy brown when they're done.

Combine the salt and baking soda in a small bowl. Use your fingers and make a "hole" in the middle of the mixture, then pour the yellow juice into the hole. Using a whisk, stir in circles from the hole to the edge of the bowl.

Once smooth, add the yellow mixture to the large mixing bowl with your egg whites, etc. Stir it all together until smooth. If it's not at least pale yellow, stir up to 3 more drops of food coloring in.

Use nonstick spray (Pam, etc.) on a cookie sheet, then dollop teaspoonsful of the mixture onto the sheet. Put cookie sheet in oven for no more than 10 minutes.

These rock. Crunch away!

This a cookie bar recipe soooooooooo simple and soooooooo damn good !!!

Layer a cake pan with graham or saltine crackers (yes either cracker will work wonderfully!! ). Melt 2 sticks of butter with 1 cup of brown sugar and a dash of salt. Pour this over the crackers evenly and bake for 17 minutes at 350*. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips or any chocolate chunks you desire. Wait a few minutes for chocolate to melt then spread out over the entire bar. Let cool completely, cut ans serve.

I hope you love them as much as we do. SO simply and very few ingredients !!

A ton of them. My baking is done, done, done. Don't have my recipes with me right now but go too allrecipes.com or the food network web site, you'll find zillions of them.

Making candy is even easier. Melt chocolate bark and some chocolate chips, mix semi sweet and milk chocolate and you can cover pretzels or peanuts also use white bark with white chips. After you get the candy coating melted put in your pretzels or roasted peanuts and scoop them out and put on wax paper, you can decorate the pretzels with colored sugar. Easy breezy.
Also easy is to spread peanut butter on a Ritz cracker, top with a Ritz and dip those in the melted chocolate, remove and put on wax paper and you can decorate those also.
