It has become a family tradition, since my kids were born, to start decorating the house and setting up the tree for Christmas the first weekend of December
Now, I have to run to make Latkes, with my daughter Lora, (Cake Duchess) for Hanukkah. I'm also entering in this fun event with the Very Good Recipes White Christmas Challenge
I like my cookies to be firm but soft when you bite into them, not hard and crumbly. Sugar Cookie Cut Outs are the cookies we leave out for Santa Claus every year
I didn't have piping bags, so the swirls didn't work like I had planned--and then, one of the icing bags exploded WHILE I was icing the cupcakes, causing a bright red frosting eruption that was a huge mess, and THEN one of the cupcakes just fell over
I somehow got it into my head to make a cookiesand cream cake mostly because I had some Oreos which I originally got to make a cheesecakeand then never got round to
I gotta tell you, though, this is very easy, and if you are like me and you suck at decorating cookies, you will be really happy with the overall results
Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies. In a mixing bowl combine cake mix with water, oil and egg whites. Using an electric mixer on medium speed beat until smooth and well combined (mixture will resemble thick marshmallow fluff)
After my first experiment with decorating cookies with royal icing, (and then giving them all away, I might add), I had Christmascookies, sprinkles, and sugar on my mind, and realized that my holidays wouldn't be complete unless I tried a filled cookie, too
An absurdly decadent cookiesand cream cheesecakesandwiched between two layers of soft, rich, fudgy chocolate cake, iced with a sweet, smooth cream cheese buttercream and topped with a rich chocolate ganache and cookie crumbs
As it happens, I had also been meaning to post a cookiesand cream cake - which was always my brother's favorite birthday cake when he was little - and something that I still love
I wanted to make these with easy to obtain, yummy ingredients, so there's no fondant or gum paste involved, just candy, fruit leather, marshmallows, cookies, cakeand frosting - all things that kids like to eat - and a few hours of your time to pull it all together
The technique is very much like the fall cookiesand much easier than you’d think. When I made my popular fall leaf cookies last month, I was already thinking ahead
This is such a simple recipe for yummy Oreo Cookiesand Cream Poke Cake. I made this cake on Sunday while my family was at the park and it was a real treat for them to come home and have this waiting for them
Our holidays were filled with home baked and decorated cookies, the smells of warm and filling meals wafting through the house, a huge Christmas tree adding the smell of pine needles to the room and laden with ornaments and sparkling with lights, and decorations in every room making our home look like a wonderland to a child
