We made spritz cookies when I was a child - but always vanilla, never chocolate (sigh).

I am waiting for buds on my new Christmas cactus to open so I really know what color they are.Linda Swanekamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291121742617818637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-47560284270901177082018-12-18T08:39:43.100-06:002018-12-18T08:39:43.100-06:00Those cookies look delicious.

This morning when I woke up I found one had tipped over and was on the kitchen counter but hadn't broke. I had to put in a second support to hold it up. I need to measure them later and see how tall they are.Karen - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-48617809226310597812018-12-18T07:57:31.019-06:002018-12-18T07:57:31.019-06:00Having buds on your Amaryllis plants must be like ...Having buds on your Amaryllis plants must be like opening presents, not sure what's inside. They really are beautiful flowers, and it's a shame they don't last longer. I finally finished baking on Sunday, but will make some chocolate fruit and nut bark today. I have the dried fruits cut up, the nuts roasted and the coconut all ready to sprinkle on the melted chocolate. So easy, and so yummy.Sylvia Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05428198364925279742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-76498996688762625902018-12-18T07:48:43.331-06:002018-12-18T07:48:43.331-06:00I have used the same Spritz recipe (with variation...I have used the same Spritz recipe (with variations) for YEARS and this year I can't find the magazine! Granted I've only looked for about five minutes but it's not where it's supposed to be! I love the simplicity of a good Spritz cookie.
