Christmas Cookies
Don't make these by yourself. It's a long and lonely road and much more fun with sisters, friends, or cousins. You can also show up at the Warner homestead on the second Saturday in December and just watch. You can try your hand at shaping the pretzels, but be warned, we are not afraid to vote people off of the island. Right Wendy?
Ray added this one to our collection. I've been told by Alexandra that they're delicious with coffee!
One of Grandma Helf's Christmas Cookies
If you ever feel like decorating gingerbread men, come on over because Michelle always makes tons of these and Jessica and Wendy make them come to life at Christmas. Carlie and Vicki started a tradition of making unique gingerbread shapes as well.
Grandma 'Rene made these as our cookie snack for cookie day.
A Chatelle family legacy, passed down from Gramma Pascuzzi.
A must for Christmas, they were Laurie's favorite. Wendy makes them every year.
Grandma Lu - Be sure to add enough nutmeg for these traditional cutouts.
Another of Grandma Lu's special Christmas cut-out cookies. They tend to spread, so that Santa you made may look like a snowman once it's been baked.
This recipe makes about 4 dozen, but over the years it's been doubled and quadrupled so there's enough for everyone, especially Mike and Church. This is the Christmas cookie Ellen makes every year.
Don't chill these for any length of time or they won't come out of the press very well and will be accompanied by lots of foul language (Bob).
Delicious. Make these last and eat them first because they don't store well. Good to do with Ginny. (She makes nice circles.)
A traditional Christmas cookie at the Warner house. Grandma 'Rene would roll hundreds of these, while Wendy, Beth, or Ginny rolled them in egg whites and walnuts. They were Dick's favorites.
A recipe from Ginny, these chocolate truffles are gooey and decadent.
Mrs. Burns' Christmas Cookies - the aroma alone could make you feel tipsy.
