We are having a big holiday party at our house on the 15th, and I usually baked 5-7 different types of cookies/treats. So far I've made peanut butter balls, chocolate cookie balls, and shortbreads! I have so much left to do! Ahhhh! So stressed!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-428465 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 20:37:40 +0000 MaisyMay 428465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I already made a few batches of pecan candies, not sure if I'll do much else. It would be fun to have a baking party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-428433 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 20:07:11 +0000 autumnlove 428433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I will start next weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-428364 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 19:31:18 +0000 shopaholic 428364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just baked for the first time in a looong time on Friday. lemon Bars! Will probably get around to some cheesecake brownies soon too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-428353 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 19:18:14 +0000 dagret 428353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/butterfinger-cookies-2/detail.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://allrecipes.com/recipe/butterfinger-cookies-2/detail.aspx</a> the dough gets really crumbly. This time I used full size butterfingers and I think that's why. I always used mini size ones before, which have more chocolate, so I think that helps w the dough texture. It's easiest to use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-428110 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 15:25:42 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 428110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hergreenapples: oh my! I love shortbread but I'm too scared to try to make it.</p> <p>@blackbird: yummy! </p> <p>@dagret: butterfinger cookies?!? I might have to get that recipe from you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-427920 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 12:01:22 +0000 Smurfette 427920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I want some buckeyes!</p> <p>I am going to make some treats starting next week. We are having a Christmas get together next Saturday, so I need one batch done. Probably wait till the next weekend for cookies, so they last longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-427916 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:58:41 +0000 dagret 427916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm starting today! I'm doing snicker doodles, m and m cookies and butterfinger cookies this year. Maybe more if I get the itch later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-427915 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:58:01 +0000 heartonastring 427915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eek. I feel like I'm late getting started this year!</p> <p>Not sure of all the cookies I'm going to make this year, but definitely making my favourite ginger spice cookies. Probably some sort of shortbread and maybe some squares as well. I'm also bringing sticky toffee pudding to Christmas dinner with DH's family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-427881 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:12:54 +0000 doodlepoodle 427881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Oh...banana bread sounds heavenly!!! I have some bananas in the freezer...I may have to pencil that in for today ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-427879 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:09:42 +0000 blackbird 427879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well i made cookies last week and I made banana bread this morning! I thought about doing a cookie bake fest with a friend of mine, but I just don't think i'll have the time. I do have to bring desserts for DH's military christmas shindig, so I might do a platter of random goodies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-427833 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 10:42:27 +0000 doodlepoodle 427833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Oh yes, I have a co-worker who is a PHENOMENAL baker and if she didn't bring her gorgeous (and tasty!) cookies in I'd probably cry!! Mine are pretty simple, nothing fancy, but still tasty ;) My brother always just asks for the leftovers at Thanksgiving/Christmas since he's single and doesn't cook for himself generally :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-427829 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 10:40:22 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 427829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: I usually just bake and bring it in to my coworkers, who now expect it and start getting antsy if I miss bringing it in a week. I also bake about 7 different kinds of cookies and give it to my brother as a Christmas present because he's such a cookie monster. (No special wrapping, just stick it in a container because he told me to) But this year, I'm making plates for our housekeeper and my LO's daycare mommas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-427819 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 10:32:31 +0000 doodlepoodle 427819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The women in DH's family always get together a Saturday in December to bake but things are a little different this year (some family drama) so I don't know that it will happen. I have 3 days off from work starting next Friday so I will probably start then! :) </p> <p>Do you do plates for folks? I think the plates I'm most excited for are for people who really helped me during the first few months that J was home (lactation consultant, l&amp;d nurses, OB, etc) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-start-your-holiday-baking#post-427811 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 10:28:16 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 427811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's December, so I have an itch to start baking! When do you Starr and what do you usually bake?</p> <p>I think I'm going to start with some buckeyes/peanut butter balls. </p>
