What kind of sweet treats do YOU make for Christmas?

[des189]

I just got a recipe for sour cream sugar cookies that I'm hoping to make tonight!

I MAKE a conscious effort to go around eating everyone else's sweet treats.

so far i've made 6 types of cookies for little cookie boxes for the neighbors, mailman etc. and i actually made a FRUITCAKE!!! i'm trinidadian so my grandmother makes something called "black cake"; it's a dark, dense fruitcake that i usually don't enjoy

(it's intense!). i decided maybe i'd like american fruitcake better (can you imagine lol) so i have it soaking in brandy with my fingers crossed.

i have yet to make my fave pound cake and fresh rolls to eat with our christmas ham

i'll get to those tomorrow!

I've never had fruitcake.

I made these Rudolph Cake Pops for my girls' class parties yesterday. The kids loved them!

OK, I started this morning and now I'm finished except for rolling out, cutting out and baking the gingerbread men. This is what is finished and, yes, I'm bragging.

Clockwise from top left: 2 loaves of julekaka, apple pie, pecan pie.

I've made peanut butter fudge.

I wish I felt up to cooking more. I bought the oil to make rock candy. And Church window cookies sound good.

Maybe after Rhiannon is born and my mom comes down I can convince her to cook some. 5 days till her due date.

I'm making gingerbread men and made a frozen limeade pie yum.
