Well, not MAKING treats, but I did just try a new ice cream ... Tillamook's holiday sugar cookie.
I should not have tried it because of course I want to eat the whole carton in one sitting -- it's THAT good!
I do plan to bake a bunch of fruit muffins and some sugar cookies to give to a couple of colleagues on campus in those fun holiday tins. I won't bake much, though, as I don't want the leftovers in my house!
I love Tillamook ice. Sooo good.
I like it better than Graeter's, better than Ben & Jerry's.
1 stick butter
2 lbs powdered sugar
1/2 cup bourbon
1 cup finely chopped nuts
cream butter in 1st lb of sugar, gradually add other 1 lb sugar and bourbon. Should make a stiff dough.
make into small balls on wax paper and refrigerate
Dip in:
12 oz chocolate
1/4 cake parafin
Refrigerate.
Oddly, my mother's recipe cards do not address the nuts.... I guess in the dough or sprinkled on top of the chocolate.
I decided not to make them. Too much sugar and too much work.

Thanks for the recipe, Mikala. That sounds simple, comforting and divine. Like something a loving Mother would feed her family.
I appreciate Alm's recipe for the bitter chocolate orange cookies. We love that combination of flavors.
Me too, those cookies sound really good. I also like the dark chocolate/orange combination.
