TO BAKE! There's nothing better than finding an excuse for some holiday baking. Prior to the bakefest beginning, we carefully planned out our recipes and ingredients for these sweet treats:
- Gingerbread Whoopie Pies with Maple Cream Cheese Filling
- Candy Cane Biscotti
- Krumkake (a traditional Scandinavian cookie that Scott makes every Christmas using a special family recipe ... this link to the recipe is similar though)
We recruited the help of our two little elves. One likes to crack the eggs; the other is our chief taste tester.
Baker-in-training!
Checking out the Gingerbread Whoopie Pies!
Most of the afternoon, we took turns at the oven prepping and baking and shuffling cookie sheets and laughing and sharing measuring cups and washing dishes. With the holiday music playing, the fireplace crackling, and happy little boys running around, what better way to spend a Sunday ... and to fill up our freezer with baked goodies!
