Baking day...

Baking day-I have been going back and forth as to whether I should make a bunch of cookies or not. What made the decision? I love to bake...now I just need to pass the wealth along cause these things are good!

Had to put the leaf in the table so I would have enough room for this photograph of the largess!

Individually....

the first two photos are of items I actually made a couple days ago-these are our two very favorite things so I made double batches of them...

"Almond Roca" made with saltines

Christmas biscotti with fennel seed and candied cherries-

Lemoncello coconut truffles-

Macaroon mountains-

Chocolate Pixies-these are Nick's favorite!

Chocolate caramel pecan bars-

new recipe that will definately go in our cookie book...

Date and pistachio bars-

Peppermint bark-

this is another new recipe with a ganache center...

Cranberry bliss bars-

Italian Anise cookies-

another new recipe that I liked...not sure yet if everyone else will though

Chocolate chip-

but made with the mint + dark chocolate bags currently at the store...

I ran out of energy and didn't get around to the sugar cookies...maybe Sunday when Amy is here!
