Random Holiday Baking Notes




The Raspberry Dark Chocolate Marble cookie recipe from The Washington Post works just as well with cranberries and white chocolate (pulverize white chocolate chips). In hindsight, rolling the two doughs into a longer, skinnier log then twisting again would have given the cookies a more marbled appearance. They were a hit.

Placing a small juice glass in a plastic sandwich bags is an easy way to flatten cookie dough.

Good News. Bad News.


Good news: This bag of 100 pieces of chocolate Halloween candy is 80% off!

Bad news: 49 of the pieces are malted milk balls (definitely not my picky family's favorite:p).

inspired by gluttony, bottom-barrel prices on clearance items at the grocery store and looking at the bag as 51% irresistible deal
