I spent my day baking and dipping marshmallows into chocolate. I originally was going to make enough to send snacks to work with DH and still have some leftover for me to bring to work. That didn't happen. I was trying to avoid going to the store today and I thought I only had enough butter for one batch of each thing. As it turns out, I cut out the lemon bars I'd been planning to make so I could have doubled up on the snickerdoodles and had more to bring in. The snickerdoodles are packaged to go to work with DH tomorrow. I'd rather share with the people he works with than where I work. I've snacked on a few and they are delicious.
I also tried to make brownies, but the recipe I used refused to bake properly. The edges are really hard and when I cut into it the center is still undercooked. The recipe (I used the Hershey one) said to bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes. I had the right temperature and probably ended up baking for 40-45 minutes and they still aren't done correctly so I ate one of the edge pieces, but I'll probably throw the rest out. I also dipped an entire bag of large marshmallows into chocolate. Those will also go into the packages for DH's coworkers.
This will probably be the first year that I haven't made Christmas cookies. Growing up my mom and I would always make cutout sugar cookies and frost them together. I loved doing that. The recipes have changed now that I'm older (I don't use shortening so I don't use the one I grew up with), but I still love the tradition of it. I just don't have the time this year.
What sort of goodies are you making this year?
