Dec. 5th, 2012 09:01 amScott is really missing Christmas cookies. To be honest, I am too. It doesn't seem like the holidays without having three or four different kinds of cookies around all the time. The problem is that I can't manage cookies-- all the in and out of the oven, filling and emptying cookie sheets, wears me out until I can't stay upright any longer-- while Scott doesn't have time to make them. I have a zillion recipes. We just don't have the wherewithal to make them
I've been thinking, though-- I can make anything that is baked as one unit. I know that chocolate chip cookies can be baked that way and cut into bars. I can also make butterscotch brownies (though those tend to come out in such a way that they don't come out of the pan neatly). I'm trying to think of other things that can be baked as bars. After I get through this week and the book fair, I'll look at my copies of Joy of Cooking. I don't know what I'll find, but there's got to be something.
Anybody know any great recipes for bars or other things that don't require a lot of time on one's feet? I can't have walnuts or peanuts, but other nuts seem to be safe.
