Made Raspberry and Almond Shortbread Thumbprints today. I also made some with Blackberry jam. Supposed to be for a cookie exchange I'm going to tomorrow night, but forgot about a Christmas present for DS's CCD teacher, so she got cookies and now I have to bake more tomorrow morning.
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon milk
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.In a medium bowl, cream together butter and white sugar until smooth. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Mix in flour until dough comes together. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Make a small hole in the center of each ball, using your thumb and finger, and fill the hole with preserves.
3.Bake for 14 to 18 minutes in preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Let cool 1 minute on the cookie sheet.
4.In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, 3/4 teaspoon almond extract, and milk until smooth. Drizzle lightly over warm cookies.

- this weekend was 3 batches each of Peanut Brittle and Almond Roca. The recipe is the most awesome one on the planet.

My neighbor taught me how to make it from her recipe that she tweaked and has been making for 30+ years. The Peanut Brittle is so light and airy you can hardly stay away form it. My family starts asking about it in September to make sure I'm bringing some for the holidays.

Again, glad to be back and hope everyone is having the best of holidays.

P.S. Here is a picture of my kitchen window - decorated for Christmas. My husband gave me "Pan" for my birthday and she is happily playing me Christmas music while I cook. The orchid on the right will be blooming before the New Year and has every year for the past 8 years! When I get a picture of my homemade Christmas tree I'll post that as well.
