| new cookie, yesterday's cookie...they're goin' fast! |
this year, i haven't yet tasted my favorite xmas cookie of all times, mexican wedding cookies or russian tea cakes - and i'm sure there are other cultures that partake in the making of these delicious holiday treats and have their own name. the basic principle of the cookie - walnuts, flour, sugar and more sugar! with extra dough from yesterday's sugar cookie recipe i thought i would try creating a spin on my favorite xmas cookie. i added some chopped walnuts to the dough, rolled them into one inch balls and when they were hot out of the oven, rolled them in confectioners sugar.....with a little orange zest, nutmeg twist, these cookies were super tasty! same dough - NEW COOKIE! enjoy.
