Goodness

Candy canes. Sweet treats. Tis the season. 
It's my Christmas baking extravaganza!
I'm making peppermint bark, date pinwheels,
hazelnut cocoa coins, shortbread walnuts and gingerbread.
Every year I divide everything in two and trade cookies with my
dear friend Shelby, who is also baking as we speak.
I must say we turn out a pretty fine collection every year
and I can't wait until we exchange!

    Thank you all so much! I'll certainly post a picture. I'm trying not to fatten up before Christmas! Alas, one must sample each batch hot from the oven!
