We also have been baking - speculaas, rolled sugar cookies, gingerbread, and hip cakes (sometimes called butter bars - made with cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a cake mix) and a coconut/pecan gooey bar cookie that is mostly brown sugar and butter, a recipe from the Chicago newspaper called chewy butter nut bars. Fortunately, I have enough hungry kids around that I don't eat them all myself!Emily J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01132106976424535611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-77259120567087982312011-12-21T14:53:11.136-08:002011-12-21T14:53:11.136-08:00A mouth watering post to say the least!

Just this morning I was philosophizing about sticking with salty stuff, because I don't tend to overdo with salt as much as I do with sugar. But if the mood strikes . . .<br /><br />I am so glad you joined me for "A Childlike Christmas". It provided so much sweet friendship, love, good ideas, and purity.
