Virtual Cookie Exchange, My Day

Today is my day for the Virtual Cookie Exchange starts today, hosted by the amazing Carol @Just Let Me Quilt. This is one of my favorite hops, and bittersweet to know that this is the last one. I appreciate all Carol, Joan, and Carla have done over the years to create these wonderful hops.

Challenge: You don't have to bake anything for this, but if you have a favorite recipe or tradition, that's what we'd love to see. Share a Christmas project with mean ole' Mr. Grinch or a past or present quilt you have made.

I have been busy this week decorating, not quite done, but almost. I got my Christmas quilts hung.

For the virtual cookie exchange this time, I made Cranberry Pistachio Shortbread. The recipe can be found here.

I don't know what happened to mine, they don't look like the picture, there's are flat and mine are round balls, but they taste yummy.

Be sure and find out what the other bloggers below have made. The lineup is below.

I have to apologize if you are normally an anonymous commenter, I had to turn that option off. I used to allow anonymous comments as I am getting up to 10 spam comments a day for sports betting. I love hearing from you and am sorry I had to do this, but it was necessary.

Virtual Cookie Exchange, Day 2, My Day

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.

In 2020 I made Chocolate melting snowmen.

In 2021 I tried a bunch of new recipes including Buckeye cookies.

German chocolate truffles, found at Tastes Better from Scratch.

In 2022 the new to me recipe was the Andes Mint Cookies from the Recipe Critic.

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