Santa's Whiskers

I am sure all of you have heard of this recipe, not me. I usually have heard of ALL cookie recipes because I LOVE cookies!! I am a Cookie Monster for sure! A friend of mine mentioned these on Facebook and I could not wait to hear what they were. Were they white chocolate covered pretzels I thought? Never in a million years would I have guessed what they were. These are really good and a very pretty cookie too! This is What's Cookin on Beaty's Creek in this New Year!

Needed:

1 cup butter-room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 T milk
1 t vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour
1 cup chopped red candied cherries
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup flaked coconut



Cream together butter and sugar (make sure butter is at room temperature). Mix in vanilla. Now stir in flour, cherries and nuts. Form in to one long roll and roll in coconut. Now wrap in plastic wrap. Place in fridge overnight. Remove from fridge and slice into 1/4 inch thick slices. Bake at 325' for 12 minutes or until golden.

Christmas Eve 2008

It is that time again. I make an endless list for a meal that I hope all will enjoy. I love cooking! It is like Christmas for me every time I step into my kitchen. Wait, not every time, like when I must sweep or mop it is not so Christmas like but all the other times it is!! I talked to my dad yesterday and he was shocked that I actually "like" to cook, Thanks for noticing dad. Now on to the menu. We talked about doing a Cajun Boiling Pot of sorts but decided to take the Crown Roast route. Easy and good!

Here's the menu:

Crown Roast for 6 (Raine does not "count" on this one.)
Fingerling Potatoes roasted in the oven with garlic and Parmesan cheese
A really good salad of baby greens and organic veggies
Homemade wheat bread
Homemade butter
Not sure of the dessert will have to think about this. Maybe a Red Velvet or a Yule Log I will have to see what sounds good closer to the day.
