I’m getting my holiday baking in early–this week, gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies, and pecan pies. My house smells like Christmas. What about you? Anything yummy coming out of your oven? What’s your favorite goody for the holidays, either to cook or to eat?
I’ve got some holiday-themed books to give away in keeping with the season–this weekend: December 2007 Silhouette Nocture, Holiday with a Vampire, by Maureen Child and Caridad Pineiro. Drawing Monday! Let me know if you want it!
Update: Winner–#17, Estella!

How to make Sugar Cookies:
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
dash of salt
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; blend. Mix in flour, baking powder, and salt. Divide dough into three pieces on plastic wrap. Store wrapped dough in the refrigerator for at least three hours. Preheat oven to 400-degrees. Take out chilled dough one section at a time. Roll each section to 1/4- to 1/2-inch thickness, dusting with flour. Cut out in shapes. Place on a greased baking sheet and decorate as desired. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Makes 3-4 dozen cookies.
