night of cooking

verbicideI'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!
