  1. I still love those ornament truffles. They are quite yummy but I also got the chance to see them go from an idea on a post-it note to seeing them in "print" to getting to eat them. And don't even get me started on those gingersnap truffles and those eggnog cookies. Mmmmmm. Hard to choose a favorite in all of these.

  2. Thanks for posting this! It's going to save me time looking for the ones I want to make. I need to just print the ones I want so I have them in my holiday recipes book. You know, that cookbook of favorite holiday recipes that I keep meaning to put together. Yeah, that one.

  3. Wow--all those pictures look great. I am especially intrigued by those ginger truffles. I love ginger cookies (can you say Biscoff?) I also really like the "less than 30-minutes" part. Can't wait!!! Thanks too for the links to great recipes from Christmases past!
