I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect cookie. One both delicious and different, yet simple enough for me to conquer the first time. Here are some of the front-runners:
- Rugelach Pinwheels - These look amazing. I like that both the process and ingredients are uncomplicated. And the instructions are extremely clear and beautifully photographed.
- Fig Cookies - I want to try something that my husband would NOT like (since he’s not going to be there, and I might otherwise never get the opportunity), and this would probably fit that bill. However, some of the ingredients are a bit exotic and probably pricey. I wouldn’t even know where to find xanthum gum, for instance. But they do look interesting.
- Homemade Oreos - Now these definitely would not pass the “husband wouldn’t like it” test, but my GOSH! They look amazing. I want them now, please.
- Milk-Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies - Ummm…because that would be amazing. But then I’d have to share…
- Chocolate Toffee Crunchies - This seems to be more bar than cookie, but I doubt anyone would point fingers.
- Rolled Baklava - This looks like a much easier version of baklava. Instead of stacking layers upon layers of phyllo dough, you are rolling the dough into a log-like shape and cutting it into pieces.
- Gingerbread Men - Very traditional, and these are so cute! I adore the scarves. I just hate biting their little smiling heads off, you know?
- Two Tone Chocolate Peanut Butter Stars - Stunning presentation, looks easy enough, and very holiday-ish. Best of all, no icing required!
Okay, I think I’ll quit now. Too many choices makes the head swim and the stomach growl (more than it is already).
Stumble it!
I will definitely have to try the homemade Oreo cookies. All the cookies look delish!
