Holiday Favs
With the holidays rapidly settling in on us (someone remind me why this wkend is a bad wkend to go shopping?), I thought it'd be nice to do a little sharing. All friendly and home-like, you know?
So. . . even if you don't have the recipe handy, what's your favorite holiday recipe and why?
Mine is Teta's Moravian Spice Cookies. If you've never had Moravian cookies, you're missing out. These are full of molasses and spices, rolled to an absolutely paper-thinness, and then, with cookie cutters much older than me, are made into stars and santas and holly leaves. Recipe to follow.
This is a picture of a Moravian Star. The county below mine was settled with Moravians in the 16-1700s. Everyone at home puts up these stars on their front porch at Christmas time.

I'm going with a cookie recipe too. My mom makes killer iced sugar cookies this time of year. They so remind me of home and holidays that I made them when I was living in Japan - in a FISH GRILL. Due to space constraints I could only bake about eight to ten at a time - but I did it. Good question, M.
