Simply Delicious

“Simply Delicious” is my segue from the inspirational word “simple” to the word “delicious.” Basically, for the month of November any spare time I have will be taken up with baking cookies.

After all, what could be more delicious than a cookie? In fact, I wonder what is the perfect dessert? I suppose some would say ice cream. And for me ice cream is a close second. I’d probably put a good homemade cake, torte or cupcake at third, followed in no particular order pie, flan/pudding, mousse, cheesecake, etc. Cookies would definitely top my list.

And speaking of lists, here is my long list for my holiday cookies:

* Butter Cookies dipped in chocolate and chopped macadamia nuts

* Decorated Spritz

* Walnut Cookies with Chocolate/Walnut filling (or Chocolate/Hazelnut filling?)

* Kourambiedes

* Chocolate Vanilla Triangles

* Heath Bar Shortbread

* Chocolate-Glazed Toffee Bars

* Chocolate Crinkles

* Butter Mint Cookies

* Cherry White Chocolate Shortbread

* Chocolate Citrus Truffle Cookies

* Shimmer Cookies

* Greek Almond Shortbread Rounds

* Raspberry Sugar Cookie Sandwiches

* Cherry Chocolate Cookies

* Millionaire Shortbread

* Mother Bauer’s Buttered Rum Cookies

* Chocolate Dipped Melting Moments

* Lora Brody’s Chocolate Phantoms

* Hazelnut Browned-Butter Shortbread with Fleur de Sel

Tune in at the end of the month to see which made it to Rae’s 2012 Holiday Cookie Short List, along with photos and maybe a recipe or two.
