I'm a southern gal with a passion for cooking and baking from scratch, the old fashioned way!
Last year, I threw together a batch of these cookies without really measuring any ingredients or thinking about it at all! I took them to a dinner with friends. My brother-in-law would not stop talking about how delicious they were, so this year I tried really hard to re-create what I had made last year. I had him sample the results, and he was very happy that I had re-captured the original magic.
There is nothing like a day of baking cookies to get you into the Christmas spirit. I went on a cookie-baking rampage the other evening while listening to Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole sing my favorite Christmas carols on the stereo… Here is a “new” vintage cookie recipe that my family already loves that I am happy to share with you on this Christmas Eve Day.
Warning – this bread is totally addictive. It is just mildly sweet, perfectly spiced, dense, moist, and nutty. We could not stop eating it this morning! My husband and I easily took care of half the loaf for breakfast. I hope you will try it, but don’t say I didn’t warn you…
I am sad to announce, dear readers, the passing of a much-loved blog that I and many others have enjoyed over the past several years. For unknown reasons, Katie has taken down her food blog, Good Things Catered. In celebration of and appreciation for her contribution to the food blogging community, to our kitchens, and to our imaginations, I am sharing one of my favorite Good Things Catered recipes with you all.
