The Twelve Cookies Of Christmas
THE TWELVE COOKIES OF CHRISTMAS
Dominque was home from Graduate School for Christmas vacation so we did a little “Father-Daughter Bonding” together in the kitchen. We enjoy getting into “Projects” that always take way too much time-and-energy but somehow we manage to pull-it-off without fighting.
We dug through old family recipes, we researched cookbooks and online sites, we bought ingredients and then spent a week baking our TWELVE COOKIES OF CHRISTMAS
Pizzelles
Day One:
We started with this Family Favorite, Pizzelles.

Day Three:
This is an old “Family Recipe” that was handed down to me from my mother. Black Walnuts grow wild in Pennsylvania where I grew up and my mother would make these cookies every Christmas. Black Walnuts are very difficult to harvest and their unique flavor adds a wonderful taste to baked goods.
Apricot Pistachio Rugelach
Day Four:
