My grandmother sent these to us every Christmas, flimsily wrapped in brown paper and string. By the time they arrived after a 1200-mile journey via US Mail, you could smell them through the dents in the box. My mother always said Grandma probably got the recipe off a Crisco can in the 1930s. Whatever, they are very tasty and they age well!

I just bought Byzantine and cannot for the life of me find that same colorway of Silk Garden lite, so I'm on a sort of grail quest.<br /><br />But as for cookies--oh! I love all of them and seem to have a new favorite every time I taste a friend's new batch. Currently, I'm totally loving this buttery shortbread stamped with old fashioned cookie stamp designs. The only ingredients are flour, butter, and powdered sugar, and oh the joy!<br /><br />Natalie K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659222299931442866.post-25146359020506750962009-12-14T00:10:10.812-05:002009-12-14T00:10:10.812-05:00My favorite holiday cookie is from my childhood.

I have donated and knitted patterns from that site and really am a fan of Doctors without Borders. It would be nice if more American designers would add a pattern to get more involvement from American knitters. The last time I was at the site the Brit's were so far ahead in donations...it made me sad. Anyway, just thought I would add my two cents in support of p/hop. I really love the Cranford Mitts, and have really enjoyed knitting them.<br /><br />Linda in KalamazooLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824250703567772562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659222299931442866.post-19577591269102597692009-12-13T22:56:57.476-05:002009-12-13T22:56:57.476-05:00I just made a huge batch of sugar cookies, baked w...I just made a huge batch of sugar cookies, baked with decorative sugar.

They are made with multicolored small marshmallows and a no-bake chocolate mixture that holds the marshmallows together.

I was always fascinated by the pretty colors as a child, and loved the flavor of chocolate, marshmallow and coconut.<br />As to the contest...I've purchased a quite a few from last year....but not all, so I could probably [big grin] find one I don't have and want.....<br />Merry Christmas. <br /><br />Linda in KalamazooLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824250703567772562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659222299931442866.post-39345901805817860752009-12-13T19:25:39.669-05:002009-12-13T19:25:39.669-05:00I think July would be a great time for the contest...I think July would be a great time for the contest. <br />Also, logistically speaking, it might be easier to give away a specific number of patterns.

So far, we've had peanutbutter chocolate ship, spritz, pecan butter, brown sugar ginger, brown butter sugar for christmas, and sugar cookies for hanukkah. Most of the ones we baked this year were experimental, but the ginger crisps (from Gourmet or Food and Wine, don't remember which anymore) are the ones that made it into the hand written, family recipe book we use from year to year! Nonetheless, I'm drooling over the gingerbread snowflakes, since I just havn't found a gingerbread I really love to make, and I do love gingerbread.RachelAndersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659222299931442866.post-28897999012679691822009-12-13T12:51:31.599-05:002009-12-13T12:51:31.599-05:00My favorite christmas cookie is Turkish Hats - the...My favorite christmas cookie is Turkish Hats - the peanut butter cookies with the Hershey's kiss.
