Christmas is just around the corner and I know that many of you love to give homemade goodies as special gifts.
This contest is very simple. All you have to do is share some of your holiday recipes with us.
One recipe per entry please and you may enter as many as you want.
I’ll start by posting my all time favorite recipe. My mom use to bake these every year up until the year she died. Then I took up the tradition. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beacon Hill Cookies
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 cup flake coconut
1/4 cup chopped nuts
6 oz. Semi sweet chocolate chips, melted
Add salt to egg whites and beat until foamy through out. Add sugar very gradually, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Add vinegar and vanilla and beat well. Fold in coconut, nuts and the melted chips.
Drop by teaspoon fulls onto greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Makes 2/12 to 3 dozen cookies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These can be made several weeks in advance and stored in tins. They make a great gift.
I hope you all will share lots of recipes with us, maybe you can even teach us something new!
