She gave me two family favorites and we each picked a batch to make. Steve-Anna takes cookie decorating to a level unimaginable to me, so we are starting here with her cookie photos and cookies recipe.

Meringues (or as my nephew calls them, "little pavlovas") are little cookies made with basically just egg whites and sugar, with a little vinegar and salt added to help the mixture hold its structure when whipped. In this recipe we've folded in some crushed peppermint sticks, leftover from Christmas. http://5star-recipes.blogspot.com/2010/02/peppermint-meringue-cookies.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Surya Kumar)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541852591320531085.post-56624736267797549Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:02:00 +00002010-02-05T02:02:05.261-08:00Snacks Recipes If this cookie doesn't capture the seasonal taste of Christmas, then I don't know what does. These cookies are chocolatey and oh so fudgy; studded with bright colorful chunks of peppermint bark, they provide a cool cocoa sensation. This cookie matches perfectly with a tall glass of milk next to a well tinseled tree.

Ultimate Chippers. Super Cookies. Regardless what you call them, kids love them. A cookie packed full of peanut butter, chocolate, and candy, it's a must have cookie for Halloween and perfect for any kid oriented event.

"Would you please get the recipe from Claire? Puhleeezzzz?" Claire is my mother's friend, a lovely woman in her 80s, recently widowed, who brought my mom these fabulous cookies for a book club gathering.

She passed away a few years ago at age 97 (she was born in 1899). It's funny how just seeing her handwriting conjures up old memories of being a little girl and making cookies with grandma.

She's a great cook, but she avoids recipes and baking usually entails rather particular recipes, so she leaves the baking to my father and me. She also has a well developed sweet tooth, so when she has a hankering for a baked good she drops oh so many not-so-subtle hints about what would be really wonderful for dad or me to make.

It's been thirty years since I last made gingerbread men, and it took all weekend to get this recipe right. After starting with a truly terrible recipe from a 1974 edition of the Joy of Cooking (1/4 cup of butter for 3 1/2 cups of flour? - had to throw the whole batch out), I settled on this recipe, which makes some rather tasty http://5star-recipes.blogspot.com/2010/02/gingerbread-man-cookies.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Surya Kumar)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541852591320531085.post-1824507981063558332Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:55:00 +00002010-02-05T01:55:53.230-08:00Snacks Recipes My friend Suzanne's daughter Audrey (age 10) loves to cook. The last time I was there to visit, Audrey presented me with one of these fabulous cookies. Here's what she has to say about them...

Often relegated as a second string sweet to the more entertaining fortune cookie these don't get the respect they deserve. Sure, they don't tell you what a charming personality you have or offer a string of lotto numbers, but they do have a crisp bite and delightfully sandy texture.

Chunks of silky white chocolate help you ease in the holidays while warm and slightly spicy hints of brandy tickle your tongue. Plus with cranberries in full season, taking advantage of these sweet-tart garnet gems just makes sense.

When I inherited her recipe boxes, each filled with yellowed hand-typed note cards, I began exploring my family's culinary history.

I stumbled upon a small cart selling a variety of ornate confections. Yet amongst all the tinsel and colorful sugar my eyes were drawn to a small cellophane bag tied with a small bit of gold ribbon. In it were little pale cookies that looked ordinary but enticing none the less.

I learned to say please and thank you, how to identify nine types of forks, and all of it culminated in a High Tea final exam.

Looking back I think that's just about one of the most brilliant, inspired things I've ever done.
