I should have posted a picture of my snowman sugar cookies. They look like deranged ghosts, but my grandson will like them. They are already in the freezer.

SO baked another batch of pecan cookie balls. They seem to disappear so quickly. Probably because they taste so darned good.

Just took a almond butter cake out of the oven. Someone gave the bride a small one from the local bakery, oh my gosh. I hope this recipe comes out the way I want, with a somewhat gooey center. The pic showed a very cakey finished product but the ingredient list matched the recipes that showed a gooey center.

Most of the Christmas candy at home, the rest at work. It takes the fun out of Christmas baking when it has to be done in mass supply.

FAIL!! Ended up having more of a cake texture than I wanted, oh well. Biggest problem was the salt. I used the same salt I use in bread, sea salt crystals, which didn't break down at all. Had salt crystal crunchies through out the cake. But the taste was good.

Ack! Well, that sucks, so sorry, bbobson! Glad it tasted good anyway.

Good gravy, woman, you are a machine! How do you do all this? I'm exhausted just reading your list!

I only use table salt in baked goods. Kosher salt and others are for savory dishes.

Ah, I knew that different salts would behave differently but obviously had forgotten.
Thanks
