The Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange and Christmas Blog Hop started yesterday, hosted by the fabulous Carol @Just Let Me Quilt. Many thanks to Carol, this is one of my favorite blog hops of the year and this is the 5th year I have participated in it.
The challenge this time was to "share any of the items listed below:
A Christmas recipe, (cookies or something else food-related)
A favorite Christmas memory
Christmas Quilt, project or gift idea."
As I have mentioned in prior years, I usually make 10-12 types of cookies, and gives boxes out to family and friends. I usually like to try 1-2 things new.
This year my recipe is for Caramel Pecan Turtles: I got the recipe at Creations by Kara here: My picture isn't as pretty as her is though. Although mine aren't very pretty, they taste fantastic.

In 2018 I gave my recipe for Fudge and Crunchy Peanut bark here.
In 2019 I made Gingerbread reindeer.
German chocolate truffles, found at Tastes Better from Scratch.

Be sure to visit the other bakers/makers listed below who are be sharing their Christmas spirit.

What great cookie memories! I still love the gnome, and this year's cookie looks great to me. Ah, chocolate, how I miss you! 🫠
ReplyDeleteWhat a great rundown of your recipes. I am going to put them in the book that Days Filled with Joy shared with us yesterday. Thanks so much and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI remember your sharing most of those cookies in past years. :) So many good ones--and who doesn't love turtles? Those look delicious to me! Thanks for sharing! (P.S. I love the Santa quilt at the top of your blog page!)
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love the quilt you featured in the logo; lots of hard work, too. The list of cookies you've tried is perfect. I need to try many of them and I was pleased to see links to them. I love turtles' a wonderful addition this year.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of different types of cookies that you make. They all look delicious!
ReplyDeleteYou have an amazing variety of recipes, Karrin! You're making me want to bake - and that is not usually my thing. :) Your Santa quilt in the top photo is just gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteThanks for all the recipes! We make buckeyes each year and add puff rice cereal to them for added crunch!
ReplyDeleteThose caramel pecan turtles sound wonderful. Thanks for the link. I may have to give those a try! I think your presentation is just fine. Love your cross stitched towel there!
