The Queen of Everything

My first proclomation as the new "Queen of Everything" was simply "Let Them Eat Cookies!" Off my loyal palace baker flew to bake a batch of the best Chocolate Chip cookies from his favorite baking cookbook! Here in the kingdom, we favor crispy, golden edges and a soft chewy inside.

"Bake Me A Pretty Cake"

This and a few reindeer plates can totally evoke the Christmas Spirit in me! The colors and the theme are so cheerful and fill me with a sense of anticipation for the days leading up to Christmas Day. I sat down with my Mystery Chef Cookbooks today-as well as my Southern Living, mentioned in the previous post! I have narrowed my holiday baking to a family favorite . . .a rich chocolate layer cake with raspberry drizzled deep into the layers, plumped by layers of fresh whipped cream blended with creamy marscapone. This luscious creation is then draped in a shiny chocolate ganache and served up to delighted guests! Another Christmas favorite comes from a Woman's Day Cookie Edition from the early 90's. A vanilla sandwich cookie filled with jam and decorated to resemble holly! Easy but festive. Ron and I have discussed it and think it might be time to pump up the volume on these holiday tasties by dipping them in white chocolate! What's your favorite cookie recipe...
