The time has passed quickly - even if I was dragging my feet on those last few cookies :)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-21223125567711388662007-12-21T12:28:00.000-05:002007-12-21T12:28:00.000-05:00Cathy,(a little late, I know...but...)

I remember when you started, I believe you listed how long it would be until you got to the last recipe, and it just seemed like an eternity to me...can't believe you're already done with it now! This will serve as such a great reference tool for the Maida book! Every time I flip through my King Arthur Cookie Book, I get ideas that I want to do a project similar to what you've done here...but I just can't imagine that I would be able to follow through with such a large scale project...I'm in awe of your accomplishment here. Congrats! And, Thanks for putting this out here for the rest of us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-69332295279979225212007-12-02T22:11:00.000-05:002007-12-02T22:11:00.000-05:00Hi Cakespy!

Thanks so much - if only I could manage to make them all at the same time :) Even at Christmas I never manage to make more than six types of cookies over the course of a long weekend. Probably for the best though - otherwise there'd be some serious snacking going on!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-76773029848832848132007-11-23T16:41:00.000-05:002007-11-23T16:41:00.000-05:00I really don't know what to say except...PLEASURE ...I really don't know what to say except...PLEASURE OVERLOAD! <BR/><BR/>I was surprised by the newtons, but they do look really good homemade.

That was the first time I'd ever used that cutter! It is a great recipe though - so versatile and such a nice dough to work with.<BR/><BR/>Hi Rowena! I love that shape too - so attractive, but best of all it holds a good amount of filling :P I'm starting to think about Christmas too - haven't chosen any cookie recipes yet though!<BR/><BR/>Hi Nupur! I think you hit the nail on the head :) I came so close to including the Coconut Washboards though... and I really did like both those biscotti-like recipes... I guess I just like cookies :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Ann! I didn't even know there was a whole wheat Fig Newton! I've been shopping in Whole Foods for the last couple of years, so I guess I'm out of touch with the name brand cookies... must take a look soon! Mmmm... those Rum Raisin Shortbread cookies were another I almost included - 10 just isn't enough! Oh, I hope you'll let me know how you like them... then to be fair you'll have to try the cookie panel's top ten too! :)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-81642745880838071642007-11-14T14:01:00.000-05:002007-11-14T14:01:00.000-05:00I have to tell you, Cathy, that the Big Newtons ha...I have to tell you, Cathy, that the Big Newtons have intrigued me the most so far. I am a HUGE fig and Fig Newton fan. (Have you tried the whole wheat Fig Newtons? Awesome.)<BR/><BR/>I made the Rum Raisin Shortbread a couple of weeks ago. Sublime.<BR/><BR/>In your honor, I will now work my way through your Top Ten.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1222683795600390612007-11-14T06:58:00.000-05:002007-11-14T06:58:00.000-05:00I think you have a preference for rich and chewy c...I think you have a preference for rich and chewy cookies, Cathy :) my top ten would have been all of the crispy dunkable ones! But these chosen ones must be truly special if they stood out from a crowd of a 100-some cookies.Nupurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03890441057480820053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-71085569919389519782007-11-14T05:26:00.000-05:002007-11-14T05:26:00.000-05:00The Hamantaschens!!

The shape is quite unique. <BR/><BR/>I also love that light sprinkling of sugar on top. Mmmmm!reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467028850009354414noreply@blogger.com
