Sad but true...I wasn't always a "stuck out in the middle of nowhere ranchwife."....I lived in a city with lots of takeout..lol Trust me..the neighbor gal feels sorry for hubby, that's why she is so sweet in giving us all her goodies...![]()
nr,tell me about the 7-layer cookiesnr said:Kato, your Nanaimo bars reminded me that nobody mentioned 7-Layer Cookies here. They're a quick and standard Christmas fare here and travel well.
Our son-in-law was craving an anise cookie his deceased Grandmother always made for him- a huge cookie ( made with lard) and covered with thick anise flavored icing. So as a surprise after finding what looked like the possible recipe on the internet his daughters and I made him a box. He was so excited and said the only difference from his grandmother's was she made them into Santas! The cookies were all eaten by the time they drove home our daughter said.![]()
Mrs.Greg said:Must haves...shortbread cookies,thimble cookies,Mcintosh marshmellow ,butter tarts...then I always make two different kinds of nuts and bolts and Jalapino tarts.I also make peanut brittle,white chocolate candy cane popcorn,fudge and snowball candy. Most of the candy and cookies get put on Xmas chinet plates and given away to friends as gifts.
Jassy said:YUP! that's what I do with all the stuff I make.....put them on those neat plastic plates you get at the dollar store and go around to all the neighbors and give 'em away![]()

We make elephant balls, homemade carmels, English toffee, bavarian mints, glass candy, sugar cookies we cut out and frost, and even goodies like snack oyster crackers, chex mix, popcorn and pretzals covered in almond bark..........the list just goes on.
