night of cooking
Dec. 23rd, 2006 06:47 pmI'm in charge of bread and cookies for Jeff and Chris's Christmas Eve party, so the baking starts tonight and will probably continue on through the morning.
I'm making a double-batch of the cranberry shortbread cookies and the chocolate malt sandwich cookies. For breads, I'm making a rye, a rosemary French, and Jeff's weekly 100% whole wheat.
It will be good to be in the kitchen and away from the PS2, as my entire night was spent dreaming that I was leaping through trees and off of building, trying to escape faceless enemies. Not so soothing.
At some point, I will also need to figure out dinner for myself, but I'm in a very finicky mood. Not sure at all what I want to eat.

Recipe, por favor?
no subject
Date: 2006-12-24 05:13 am (UTC)2 cups flour
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1/2 cup chopped cranberries (I used orange-flavored Craisins)
2 sticks of butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
Mix everything except the cranberries together in a bowl with a wooden spoon --should look like a crumbly dough. Then add in the cranberries and mix until combined.
Press into an 8x8 pan, bake at 325 for about 30 minutes (mine have been taking about 35 - 40 minutes to brown).
Cool, cut, eat.
Bon apetit!
