The tradition of baking Christmas Cookies is alive and well in the Hauta Home! Mom and I spent a lot of Tuesday and Wednesday in the kitchen preparing doughs, rolling them in powdered sugar, and waiting for things to come out of the oven and cool down.
The final result (not including our "tastings" and Christmas Eve desserts) is eight tupperwares high full of Sugar Cookies, Russian Teacakes, Peanut Blossoms, Candied Fruit Slices, Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, Pecan Tarts, and Pfeffernusse! Mom even said that this is less than she usually makes.
I was happy that mom was willing to try out a Pfeffernusse recipe. I remember the cookies from my time in Germany and have loved them ever since! We even tried three kinds of icing: vanilla, orange, and almond.
They're all so good and different it's hard to say what's best!
