There was a high demand (ok, 2 people, but that's high demand in my book) for pictures of my cookies, so here they are! These are the Frosted Cocoa Cookies that I made today. They turned out really well. Brett says that they tie in his book for first place with the Cranberry Bread. They have almond extract in the frosting which gives it a nice little something extra.
They really turned out beautifully. I was really excited about that since I have issues when baking with shortening. I don't know what my problem is, but nothing I have ever made with shortening instead of butter has ever turned out. Except these.
They are quite delicious, and I wish that I could send some to all of you! And thank you so much for voting in my poll! There was an overwhelming response to the Peppermint Snowballs, so that is what I will be making next. I have noticed that the Potato Chip Crunchies haven't been very popular in the last two weeks, but they sound so interesting that I will be making them. I'll let you know how they turn out. And yes! I will continue the baking mania all the way up until Christmas, so look for a new poll in the next couple of days and help me out again! For your information, Brett's two favorites so far have been the Cranberry Bread and these cookies. Mine have been these and the Chocolate Snowballs. So we are well on our way to finding some traditions!

Those look super yummy! I have also had issues with shortening. The trick i found is those Crisco individual ones that are a cup measurement each. That is the only shortening i can get to work for whatever reason. Good luck with all your baking this season. Next you will have to post recipes!!
Yum, they look delicious. I'm so glad you included pictures!
Man, that's what I voted for! I feel so chosen.
They do look delicious!
I voted for these too, yay! They look really yummy. I want to go on a baking spree, but Blake doesn't really eat sweets, and I'll be the one that has to eat everything.(and I did and boy am I paying for it now!)
