Mark, I'm totally making the Lemon Whippersnappers. Fantastic.Jenny, you're in. But you can't dress like a zombie. I think holiday cookies and zombies mix like chainsaws and puppies.

If I learn how to cook will you bring me along next year? I may not be very good in the kitchen but I tell the most wonderful, risque stories after a snoot of champagne.

If I liked cookies, I would be very hungry! But, I don't like cookies. When can you post about some Beef Jerky Extravaganze you have attended?! I do love some beef jerky. Nothing celebrates the spirit of the season like dehydrated meat!So wonderful to see you and the Hurricane last night! Always a treat!

I make these every year. We used to always get them from my husbands Grandma…so now they are called Grandma cookies. They are the taste of fall/winter. I have new recipies to try….

Isn't it so much more fun to actually bake your own cookies rather than going out and BUYING cookies? Seriously, I'm asking, as a person who buys holiday cookies instead of baking them. I imagine it would be so much more fun for you.

Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until thoroughly mixed. Combine flour and baking soda; gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture. Stir in white chocolate, dried cherries and cashews. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven 10 to 12 minutes, or until light golden brown. Do not overbake. Let cool on wire racks; store in a tightly covered container. These cookies freeze well.Makes 4-1/2 DozenFrom the Food Services of America Website.And one more that is particularly refreshing (and simple).Lemon Whippersnappers1 Pkg Lemon Cake Mix2 Cups Cool Whip-thawed1 Egg1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar Grease cookie sheets..
