On Saturday, we went to dinner at a friends house (the first time to be invited). The girl is a WONDERFUL hostess and cooks heavenly..... because of that dinner that I thought of this question to pose here.... after dinner around 10 pm we had tea, and she came out with a huge platter of XMAS cookies that she had baked. There were eight different kinds, all totally delicious. Later she showed me to her kitchen, and I looked at all the canisters of cookies that she had been baking for the last week... (she has two kids so I was really truly impressed) . Not only were her cookies wonderful ,but the canisters that she stored them in were too. She sent me home with a small canister of her cookies, which I thought was sweet...so I am thinking of making her some real American XMAS cookies (or some cranberry/orange nut bread). Here's my question.....
Do you make XMAS cookies?
What kind?
How many?
How do you store them?
Do you make extra to give as presents?
Do you bake anything else for XMAS,,,,, gingerbread men, gingerbread house, cranberry nut loaf,,, etc etc... ?

All those sound delicious,, if you have time I would like a recipe for apple cranberry bread..... only
A Betty Crocker recipe .. takes like 5 minutes to make.
I will try to share the recipe soon :)
Sure thing! I'll bring it in tomorrow. The "tin" loaf pans can be bought at the store, and you bake the bread right in it! It's been a long time since I've bake them myself and am excited to bake these this year to give away as gifts; esp here in the office.
