Happy New Year everyone! 2014 is getting off to a good start but, judging by this post, part of my mind is still a bit stuck in 2013, thinking about holiday baking. Since I was still having 'X-mas' cookie cravings after December 25th, it seemed like the perfect focus for this blog entry. When I first started up Alphabake, my original baking idea for 'X' was hot x'd (crossed) buns. As they are a typical Easter treat it would have been a post that was quite out of season (more so than this one) and a bit more of a stretch with the use of the letter 'X'.
Feeling celebratory, I have included three different cookie recipes, all appropriate for the holidays or any other time of the year. I have featured:
- Coconut Macadamia Triangles from The William-Sonoma Baking Book
- Cashew Caramel Cookies from Martha Stewart's Cookies
- Chocolate-Coconut Bars from www.marthastewart.com
All were delicious and fairly simple to make--it was hard to pick a favourite! Happy baking!
