It's coming. And I'm not ready. Not by a long shot. Gifts to wrap, goodies to bake, last minute shopping to do. House to clean, and on and on and on.
Whoever planned for my two boys to have their birthdays in the weeks before Christmas wasn't thinking. How inconsiderate for them both to have birthdays so late in the year and put me behind my Christmas schedule.
My Christmas baking list for this year:
1) Butter Tart Bars - they were such a hit last year that they were gone well before Christmas and I had to make another batch
2) Salted Caramel Buttercrumb Bars - Shortbread + salted caramel = heaven.
3) Samoa bark - this one was tricky and I would do a few things differently if I made it again, but still delicious
4) Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares - so easy and so good.
5) Peanut Butter Cup Cookies - a peanut butter cup wrapped in a peanut butter cookie. Can't go wrong.
6) Peppermint Brownies - another Christmas staple (the recipe for this one actually came from a BOOK.....so there is no link...sorry)
7) Homemade Oreos - I know these aren't very "Christmasy" but who cares
8) Rolo Pretzel Bites - Easy!
I am about 3/4 done. Just the brownies and buttertart bars left to go. I really don't think I am going to get around to baking sugar cookies this year. Which is too bad because they are my favourite. They are just so time consuming.
Merry Christmas!
