Happy almost Holidays everyone! Last week I received a request from the lovely ladies who organized the huge Food Blogger cookie swap for volunteers to bake a batch of cookies for some people who did not receive all of their packages (due to a litany of reasons, flaky bakers, mistyped addresses what have you). Seeing as this presented another exuce to bake, I happily volunteered!
I didn't have all of the necessary ingredients on hand to recreate the Dark Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti I initially made for the swap, so I whipped up something very similar, and I think I actually like them better!
Following the exact same process and basic recipe, I subbed in Andes Candy pieces for the chocolate chips, and gave them all a powdered sugar sprinkle instead of a chocolate dip.
In other news, I made a really yummy Drunken Venison Stew this weekend. It's Drunken because there is wine and beer involved. My kind of Stew.
I also participated in the second day of Gingerbread madness for the season. We meant to make 60 cookies. We made 110 instead. Woops. Extras to the shipping guys at work!
I have some really fun Holiday cookie boxes planned this year, and I'm hoping to get the posts up on Friday or Saturday so stay tuned! Happy last minute shopping!
