What do you eat only on Christmas or New Years Day.?

Question

Special food or drink that only appear on either of these two days. Recipes are a bonus, but not necessary.

Answer 1

Sparkling Cranberry Juice from Whole Foods.

Deluxe Sugar Cookies

2 sticks butter or margarine, softened
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
2 ½ cups plain flour
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1 teaspoon Southern Comfort
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg

In a large mixing bowl (I use an electric mixer) cream butter and sugar together, add flavorings, soda, and cream of tartar. Add the egg and slowly begin adding the flour. Mix well after each addition of flour. When well mixed, form dough into a ball and wrap well with plastic wrap. Refrigerate several hours until well chilled. Overnight is even better.

Dough will keep several days, so make the dough one night in the middle of the week and have it well chilled for a weekend of baking. I always double the recipe so we have plenty of cookies to share with friends and neighbors.

After dough has chilled, divide into two or more batches and roll out with a rolling pin on a well floured sheet of waxed paper until about ¼ in thickness.

Cut into various shapes for any occasion; place cookies on a non-greased cookie sheet. It is ok to lightly spray cookie sheet with PAM or use sheets of parchment to line cookie sheet. Decorate with sprinkles, colored sugar, etc. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about ten minutes or until lightly brown.

Watch carefully to prevent burning. If one wishes, do not decorate cookies; wait until they cool and decorate with your favorite butter icing. Any way you do them, they are GOOD. Happy cookie making.
