Holiday Baking

foodnetwork's cookies this year are poop!

i like realistic recipes... that are semi easy.

so i've decided to make the following this week:
gingerbread houses & men
cinnamon sugar cookies
cinnamon swirl bars
and those gooey cookies i mentioned earlier - in strawberry (with reg. cool whip) and chocolate (with chocolate cool whip)


donno if i'll do more next week - prolly will since the bf will be outta town.

Ugh I've been conned by the bf to make him a pumpkin pie a week since thanksgiving. Downside: I HATE PUMPKIN! especially the smell... The upside is that its super easy to make.

hehe the holiday thing I love the most is pecan pie! Does anyone else get this on Christmas? It sounds a little thanksgiving like, but I just LOVE pecan pie. I get a little upset after the holidays that noone makes those pies, but keylime pies tide me over.

We need to eat pie together. I heart both keylime and pecan pies so much! And I don't like pumpkin. Though I did discover that I love pumpkin ice cream which is weird.

hehe they made keylime Florida's pie!

The smell of pumpkin in the can is truly revolting. Yuck!

FYI, breeders suggest that dog owners give the constipated doggie pumpkin, and I actually have a recipe for pumpkin dog biscuits. That's one of the reasons it's a good ending to a big meal!

I may try those gooey cookies. I'm into quick & easy cooking!

Oh god they came out so well! When I get a dog I will hit you up for that recipe too.

i made the strawberry gooey cookies last night for a potluck i was invited to today by the narcautics k-9 unit down the hallway from my office - should be pretty interesting... i already had two, but hey, that's a good breakfast! LOL


here's some additional information for the recipe...
*make sure the cool whip is at room tempature (i believe someone's already mentioned that)
*don't make the balls quiet so big - they're pretty rich in sweetness and flavor, so small doses are prolly best.
*roll the balls AFTER you've dropped them in the powdered sugar - otherwise, your hands will end up a big sticky mess


and enjoy!
