Any Home Bakers Here?

I've been busy recently, so I've not been able to bake much. Today I had a chance to make cheesecake bars and some bread for our fondu dinner

They're so cute!
A tip I learned from my decorating teacher was to add a little brown or some coco powder to any red frosting to make it really pop. It sometimes takes a little practice, but I find that it helps.

Oh! Really! Thank you for the tip!!!
It dose take a lot of practice!

Came in here looking for Christmas cookie recipes

I've probably made about 20 different types over the years, but I'll share one of my favorites.

You get to choose the nuts for the cookie base and the jam for the filling, so the combos can get really fun and interesting. Last year I did walnut with fig. This year I'm thinking pistachio and raspberry. They must sell bulk shelled pistachios... right?

One of my favorite Christmas cookies:
(I adapted this recipe from https://www.cookingclassy.com/)

Thumbprint Cookies​

Servings: 36 cookies
Prep: 30 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Ready in: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients​

• 2 cups + 2 Tbsp (300g) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, cold and diced into 1 Tbsp pieces
• 2/3 cup (140g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam

Instructions​

• For the cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a mixing bowl whisk together flour and salt, set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend together butter and sugar until combined (it will take a minute or two since the butter is cold).
• Mix in vanilla extract then add in flour blend until mixture comes together (it will take a bit of mixing since the butter is cold, so be patient, it will seem really dry and crumbly at first).
• Shape dough into 1-inch balls, about 1 Tbsp each, and place 2-inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Make a small indentation with thumb or forefinger in each cookie. Fill the indent with jam.
• Chill in refrigerator 20 minutes (or freezer for 10 minutes). Bake in preheated oven 14 - 18 minutes.
• Cool several minutes on baking sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
