We have several people that we gift tins of cookies to at Christmas so, despite the haul from last weekend's bakeoff, there were still a few more recipes that I wanted to make up - you know, the ones that you'd miss if you didn't bake them - so, while the cake was in the oven I decided to make up a batch of Thimble Cookies. Love those raspberry centres surrounded by that little ring of crushed pecans.
After the cake was iced I still had a bit of energy so I moved on to Fudge Brownie Cups.
I love making these little bites because it gives me an excuse to use my tiny little tins that I picked up on a trip to Paris several years ago. Its a lovely walk down memory lane.
And they always look great on a plate of sweets. Oh, did I mention that they are delicious?
Last on the list were my Pecan Shortbread. This is one of my favourite cookies - a lovely combo of chocolate and nuts and a wee hint of cinnamon. There's also a nice crunch and I love enjoying one (or two) with a cup of tea.
So, it turned out to be an unexpected day of baking, but, with the possible exception of a Gumdrop Cake, I think that my baking is finished and that's a terrific feeling. Today, its birthday party time!...M

Yum! Recipes, please? Or you can send me a bit os each. Makes me wish I was on your cookie list! Merry Christmas. So enjoy your blog!
Is the 4 hours drive (round trip) too far for me to be considered your neighbor? Would love to have a tin of cookies from you. I agree with Sharon; recipes please. Pecan Shortbread for me please. How do you make your thumbprints so round? Mine always crack. :^( Raspberry ribbons are always the first thing to disappear. It's DH's favorite. ;^)
Mmmm.... one of each please! :-)
Thank you, Marie! I could not access the Toblerone cookies--needed extra permission. Cannot wait to try them! No problem using the website--thank you for going to so much work; sometimes I forget I am a no reply; so sorry! Sharon
You are a Baker extraordinary!! I love the mixer tattoo. 😋😋
