WHAT'S BAKING :)
Here are some of my favorite cookie recipes that I make and share with family and friends during the holidays. Instead of buying some gifts, these make perfect gifts
WHISKEY/RUM BALLS
1 Large Package vanilla wafers
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup pecans
1 1/2 tsp cocoa
2 Tbsp white Karo syrup
1/4 cup whiskey or rum
Grind pecans and vanilla wafers. Mix all ingredients and roll into balls the size of a small marble and then roll in powdered sugar. Place balls in an airtight container. For added zest, lightly sprinkle a little more rum or whiskey on top of balls before closing. Enjoy!
MINIATURE PECAN PIES
CRUST: 3/4 stick butter, 3 oz Philadelphia cream cheese, 1 cup flour. Combine ingredients and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour.
Pecan Mix: 1/2 stick butter, 1 egg, 1 cup pecans, 1 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 cup Karo syrup and 1 tsp vanilla. Remove crust from refrigerator and roll into individual small balls. Press into small muffin pans. Add amount of desired pecan mix. Bake at 325 degree for 30 minutes.
ROCK COOKIES
3 1/2 cup flour, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp allspice, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 1/2 cup sugar, 2 sticks butter, 3 eggs (beaten), 1 tsp baking soda (dissolved in 2 tsp water) 2 cups pecans (chopped and floured).
Mix together. Mixture will be thick. Drop by teaspoonfuls on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. Makes 8 dozens.

Ugh, totally put that pecan comment in the wrong comment box! Still looks yummy though.

Hopping right along! Happy Holidays!
Hi Vanessa, on Wednesday my girlfriend and I are getting together to do some baking for the holidays. We plan to bake some Bacardi rum cakes, and lemon pond cakes. After seeing your recipes, I might add one or two. Thanks for the inspirations.
Wishing you the best of the season,

H Vanessa! I swear I thought I stopped here on the blog hop! I had the Stuff Your Stocking up on my blog too!
I've already chosen my winners and posted them late last night, as my 12 days story, A Medieval Yule will release today and I wanted to save today just for that.
Sorry I missed being here over the weekend, since we are both RRP authors.
There were just so many blogs it was hard to catch them all.
Yikes! both our books are due out today, Dec. 19! Happy release day to you!
Glad you found something to add to your recipe collection, Marissa. Happy Holidays to you.
Hi My fellow RRP Author. I thought my book was being released today, but obviously not..Soon, though. I appreciate you stopping by Kaye. Much success and continued blessings on your latest release. I'll have to add it to my reader. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Yeah, Kaye,
Yes my book did release today. I just checked the site and it's there. Woohoo.
Sorry for being so late with announcing the winner from this contest, but life has just gotten in the way. Without further ado, the winner is Sweetpea. I used random.org to choose the winner from the posters. Congratulations, Sweetpea. Your $10 RRP GC and pdf of Under The Mistletoe is on its way. Thanks everyone for stopping by. Happy New Year.
