I'm pushing towards honey cookies - the chewy goodness. Then again, we must have something creamy..<br />But, there's one thing for sure: there will be something sweet. <br />Butter Riches sound amazing (these belong in my cookbook, and will get there) - they will be made soon.. not for Christmas. I think I'll make these on a "it's not a Holiday" day. (my favourite day, alongside the Un-birthday) :D<br /><br />Have a joyful, restful and Merry Christmas!<br />MarijaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034764185511908294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-47459858759930083012013-12-23T12:55:47.822-08:002013-12-23T12:55:47.822-08:00The very thought of Christmas cookie baking makes ...The very thought of Christmas cookie baking makes me feel warm and happy! And this collection of vintage recipes is VERY delightful! I have come across some truly insane vintage recipes over the years (I have a copy of the Culinary Institute's Encyclopedic Cookbook that's just FULL of bizarre wartime substitutions), but sometimes I honestly forget how old recipes can be the basis for some of the BEST dishes -- not just weird aspics and stuff! ;D<br /><br />Feeling tons of love and holiday cheer for you and your wonderful blog,<br />Cammila<br />http://dresseduplikealady.comCammilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14789861707977033486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-38726525557543077362013-12-23T09:58:27.964-08:002013-12-23T09:58:27.964-08:00I always wonder if things tasted different/better ...I always wonder if things tasted different/better before - because of the ingredients we have now and what was available back then.

I also enjoyed the ads included in the recipes...one arguing for butter and the other for margarine!<br />I myself have to rework cookie recipes as well, but have successfully converted all of my traditional Czech cookies into vegan ones...and no one can tell the difference (Ener-G is definitely a staple in my pantry)! I do make my own vegan butter though, as I do not care for margarine. I have made some of my cookies gluten free too, just for fun, and am happy with them (I use a combination of almond flour and xanthan gum). I think as long as you make cookies from scratch, people enjoy them and appreciate the effort. Honestly, some of my most fond childhood memories are baking with my mother during the holiday season. We would start weeks before Christmas and hand the treats out to friends.

I will download and save all the lovely recipes you've posted here for next Christmas. We have baked gingerbread cookies, or "brown cakes" as they are called in Denmark. And this morning DH and I have made candy from marzipan. Small balls with liquer taste and I'm the creative one who makes carrots, green peas and small brown mice. Since we cannot eat that much we filled a nice silver box and walked to sons best friend and gave his parents half of it. They were very pleased and happy. :) have a very merry Christmas, dear.SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-89246472422958121872013-12-22T05:16:56.979-08:002013-12-22T05:16:56.979-08:00I love old cook books and the advertisements and r...I love old cook books and the advertisements and recipes from magazines of the 50s and 60s.
