I have never been a big fan of ginger snaps. Generally, I find them too hard and crunchy, a texture I don't necessarily enjoy in cookies. That changed this year when our pastry chef at work made some as part of a dessert special. The delicious cookies had a lovely, soft texture and a fantastic buttery flavor.
Twenty-five years ago I hosted a Halloween party for family. I found a simple recipe for sugar cookies. Because it was a party, I went over the top and frosted the cookies. The family went wild for the cookies. Over the years I have made them for parties, as gifts and as a special treat for the holidays. My boys came to associate the cookies with happiness.
I have never been a big fan of eggnog. I always saw it as an overly thick not very tasty drink. This year for some reason we decided to buy a container of it. Chris diluted the mixture with milk and I enjoyed the thinner version. I decided to attempt homemade eggnog for Christmas
I found a great way to use those extra holiday cranberries.
