2011 Christmas Baking


We seemed to accomplish a lot this year, perhaps because both girls were able to help with little or no supervision so three things really could be made at once (allowing for oven temps, etc).  In the centre are Jam Thumbprints, then clockwise from top we have No-Bake Peanut Butter Bites, Stained Glass Cookies, Rice Krispie Treats, Butter Horn Cookies, Butterscotch shortbread (just realised that in this photo, you can't see that those are cut out in ornament shapes because the top of the ornament was obscured by another goodie!), Fudge Meltaways, Christmas Fruit Biscotti, Peppermint Creams and Florentines. Started at about 9.30am and finished by about 3.30, with a lunchbreak - not bad!  Also greatly helped by the fact that Grandma is here and did loads and loads of washing up as we went along so that I didn't have to keep stopping and washing things...
