my sister and i continued the tradition of baking christmas cookies, of course, with the fine help of our sweet girls! as always, we produced batch after batch of the traditional pfeffernuse, as well as snowman cookies, chocolate peanut butter cookies, and chocolate drizzled pretzels. we pride ourselves this year on accomplishing complete perfection of the pfeffernuse system and baking schedule. we like to call it "pfeffernuse perfection." if you have ever attempted the 14 cups of flour recipe, that requires rolling, slicing, arranging & baking tiny bite size pieces of the enormous mass of dough, you know what i mean. i am so happy that we are able to share the traditions with hampton and evie...most importantly, the gift of time. for these moments are the ones i treasure most.
