Cookie Christmas Gifts – Christmas Cheer Cookies
Produces approximately 72
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pound dates, chopped
1 pound walnuts, chopped
1/2 pound golden raisins
1/2 cup whisky
1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained and cut in halves
Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream the butter and sugar together, this does need to be light and fluffy. Add the three eggs in to the mix. Beat until every one of the ingredients are mixed together. Add the flour and also the soda then stir in the dates, walnuts, raisins and whisky.
The batter must be stiff by now. Drop the mixture using a teaspoon on to an ungreased cookie sheet. Top every one with one with cherry halves. Then finally bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes.
Cover the bottom of the cookie Christmas basket or box with tissue or kitchen roll. This doesn’t just give a nice base to put your cookie Christmas gifts on but it will also fill any gaps. A centre piece for your cookie Christmas gift can found quite quickly and cheaply by browsing around the shops or maybe you might even have some thing acceptable within your home. Not long ago I used decorative candles in the form of a snowman and Santa which were extremely effective and cost very little.
Position the gift cookies either is cellophane bags or protect with cling film. Set up your gift cookies within a prepared basket along with your centre piece. Include a pretty ribbon bow as well as a gift tag and the cookie Christmas gift is ready for delivery.
