It’s Throwback Thursday! And Christmas is right around the corner!
If we weren’t packing up for our trip to the mountain bunker for the winter I’d be making a batch of throwback Christmas cookies today.
With a recipe from my throwback Christmas cookie recipe book
With my old throwback cookie press.
I’d probably not be using my old throwback spices, as we all now that they should be discarded after 6 months. Nobody told our Moms that; back before the great disposable society those rusty little suckers would be tucked away in a corner of the cupboard for decades on end. In fact, but for the decorations, these could have been my Mom’s:
Well anyway, no baking for me today. I have to finish packing, cleaning and fretting about what I’ve forgotten to pack/clean. So I’m out of here. But don’t let that stop you. Christmas cookies make everything better.
*sigh* I wish I had time to make a batch of the very slow Springerles that Raj’s father used to love.

Oh I bet my cocoa is older than that. I should make a Texas sheet cake and try it out!
How about those rosettes, fried on the irons? Looks similar.
Thank you
Of course.
Do you use anise extract or anisette liquor?

Anise oil, the stuff in the candy making section of the supermarket.
Mmmmm... Genghis Kahn cookies...the ones with the hersheys kiss pressed onto the middle of a warm sugar cookie.
Do you have the recipe? Please share!
I second that.
