What are you baking now?

I think I will try my hand at a scratch cake today.

Something with chocolate and sour cream. I just need to find a recipe.

My daughter and the grand babies are coming to New Mexico from Tennessee next week to spend Thanksgiving with us. My S-I-L cannot make it out, but is sweet enough to let the rest of his family come. It will be the first time we have spent T-day with my daughter in a decade! My first grandchild's birthday is Thanksgiving day, too. She will be seven. Talk about being blessed this year!

Because this Grandma knows how to maximize an experience, I am planning on setting up our Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving, while the grand babies are here. With my own six kidlets and the three grand children we will have NINE kids in the house. (Ages, 2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 12!)

I am going to make up a bunch of Christmas cookie dough and freeze it so, we can just thaw and roll or drop them onto a cookie sheet and bake.

Today I am quadrupling my Pfeffernusse recipe. When my grown sons were younger they would eat a whole bowl of these little peppernuts with milk like cereal....oh to have the metabolism of a teenage boy!

If anyone has a favorite recipe for Christmas cookies that they'd like to share, I would love to try some new ones as well!

Thanks!

Deb

I like this one because it's versatile

Ingredients
1 cake mix (any flavor)
3 ounces of cream cheese (softened)
1/2 stick of butter (softened)
1 egg

Mix it all together. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. The dough can be chilled and then rolled and used for cut out cookies. Using a white cake mix makes awesome sugar cookies. You can add chips, nuts or anything and make them into drop cookies. A chocolate mix with chips added makes a very rich double chocolate chip cookie recipe. My daughter's favorite is to use a strawberry cake mix and put pink frosting on them.

For a special Christmas cookie use a white cake mix and add some pepperment flavor. Divide the dough in half. Add red food coloring to one half. For each cookie pinch off a piece of red dough and a piece of white dough. Roll each piece in your hand to create a little tube. Then twist them together like a candy cane and bake.

If you can find the low sugar cake mixes that Pilsbury has, you can make cookies for the diabetics in your family.

The variations are endless.
