Here we are in the midst of the holiday season. Most people who bake from scratch measure this season from the first thought of a Thanksgiving Turkey and Pumpkin Pie to the last chip and dip at a Super Bowl Party and all the celebrations in between. Every family has a set of favorite items they make during this holiday season and ours is no exception.
By the way, if you have a favorite holiday recipe that you would like to share, feel free to post it in the comment section.
I’ve had the opportunity to be on local radio personality Dave Congalton’s radio show, sometimes the topic was politics, books or even holiday cooking. A few years back, we were talking about culinary marvels. Thinking back, someone asked me after the program what my five favorite sweets for this time of year were. Here they are:
1) Laura’s Mushroom Cookies
Laura and I have been making these since Christmas 1972. I remember my Swedish father-in-law remarking that we could skip the shape of the cookie if that would make the process easier and if that would mean he could have more, more often. There was a time when we had a virtual family assembly line with someone making cookies and others filling homemade baskets to deliver to friends and family.
