Thank you ladies. Looks can and definitely are deceiving in this case ~ recipe batch of cookies. I mentioned to read on my blog and I still say that but it you don't want to that is okay. Don't use this recipe! It is from a very famous and trusted lady. The name of the recipe is "Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies" - I won't mention the name of this person in this forum. Just remember the name and the picture of this recipe and STAY AWAY FROM IT!!!!

Tina T said:Hi all.
Jeri, I love all the gingerbread houses Your grandson is so cute!
Sher, your cookies look yummy.
Karen, What a great idea! You are so talented.
I haven't been on here in a while. Everyone has been sick with colds since Thanksgiving. We just got all the decorations up outside. And we started decorating inside today. I plan on starting my baking in a few days. Most of the baking will be done the week of Christmas when the kids are out of school Hope to post pics then.
Happy Baking! -

My mother was from Slovakia. Here is a holiday favorite she made, not just for Christmas but for all the major holidays. Now I continue the tradition.
Poppy Seed and Nut Rolls
1 cup milk, scalded (My mom used Carnation Evaporated Milk so that's what I use. You can use whole milk)
Add 3/4 Cup butter. Let cool
Mix together:
2 packets of yeast (I use rapid rise)
3 tsp. sugar
1 cup warm milk
Let stand until bubbly
Sift together:
6 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 tsp salt
Add cooled milk and butter and yeast mixture to flour. Mix in 4 egg yolks. Mix and knead well. Place in greased bowl. Turn dough over and cover with cloth. Let raise until double in bulk. Divide dough into 4 balls and let rest for about 1/2 hour. roll out and fill with poppy seed or nut mixture. Roll as for jelly roll. Make slits into each roll to let out steam when baking. (I do this but I still have trouble with the side blowing out and some of the filling leaking out. My mom always had issues with this too.) Let rise again about 1/2 hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until done.
Poppy seed filling Beat 4 egg whites and fold in two cans of Solo Poppy Seed Filling. Spread over rolled dough.
Nut filling Beat 4 egg whites. Add 2 cups sugar slowly. Beat until thick then add 1 lb. ground walnuts and 2 tsp. vanilla. Spread over rolled dough.

Well, I didn't think I was going to make cookies this year but I changed my mind, yippee! I did forget to take pictures of all of the cookies before sending them all off to friends and mailing them to family. I will describe the cookies and if you want any particular recipe, please email me. Too many cookies to list all of the recipes, sorry.
1. Good Old Family Spicy Gingerbread, Soft (I usually make gingerbread men and women but didn't. I made disks some with sugar tops and without sugar tops)
2. Lemon semi-soft cookie with frosting GLAZE, lightly sugar to sparkle - Light bulbs
3. Mild spicy hard cookie with frosting - Christmas Trees
4. Almond Sugar Cookie, semi-soft and Crisp that melts in the mouth cookie with frosting outlined heavily sugared and rosette with an edible pearl. This cookie I marble colored prior to baking to be completely different and fun.
The frosting and glaze is NEW for me, I never did this before and I'm very pleased how it all came out! The sugar cookie is my new recipe successful cookie this year that came out GREAT!!!! Both of these recipes you can find at this site:
They have videos and written recipes. I've talked about this site for cookies before because they are a great source of information and terrific recipes! The frosting/glaze is the Meringue Buttercream Frosting!
For better pictures of my cookies, please go to my website and click onto the "Cookie Fun" tab.
Merry Christmas!

Have been out of the loop for a few weeks. Knee surgery went well... am ahead of schedule on rehab but still in a lot of pain. I usually never take hardly any of the pain medication after a surgery... this one though... have to. I went to therapy last week after deciding I was going to quit taking one of the medications... needless to say... my therapist chewed me out because my knee did not respond to therapy like it should and told me to take the meds. I just hate it because I just want to sleep all the time! My knee is bending at 108 degrees already so doing well there. Will not be on the computer much... just kills me to sit at the PC or with the laptop on my lap. Just wanted to check in tonight and say hello to everyone and hope your Chirstmas was wonderful and your New Year will be fantastic!!!! I miss you all when I am not on here!

Here is my platter for Christmas 2010, I like to call it "The fruit of my labour". What would I do without my elves..........I have to thank my family for being patient and helping me every way.
Some of the sweets are a tradition but I have tried out some new reicpes this year.
I have Julie's rum balls and a few of a new friend Monica "Lick the bowl clean" blog I follow religiously. Then of course I have my christmas cake.

Hey everyone .... I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season...... I only baked some cookies and a cake to celebrate all the december birthdays in our family. So I didn't do as much as Thanksgiving but it was okay.
I am posting a picture of my cookies.... I got an email from Duncan Hines on the Wed before Christmas and said I had to do these.... Red Velvet Cookies, the reciep calls for them to be dipped in White Chocolate, but my mom says there is no such thing as White Chocolate..... So I dipped mine in regular chocolate and put some red and green sprikles.... Everyone loved them..... When I ran out, of chocolate I stacked some with buttercream icing.... But I think next time I am going to make cream cheese icing, stack them and dip them in chocolate, that is going to be so good.... My friend doesn't like cake, and it is his birthday so I think I am going to make him a cake out of these cookies, because he loved the cookies.....
