Seasons Eatings Christmas-2024
Letter from the Editor
Welcome to our Special Edition of Seasonal Eatings. This issue is dedicated to Christmas and ways to celebrate the season through food. We have it all: appetizers, entrées and main dishes, sides, breads and desserts. Lots and lots of desserts! Well, mostly cookies. Perhaps the Cookie Contest had something to do with that.
It has been quite a journey as recipes were collected, sorted, sampled, compared and ranked. It took lots of time in the test kitchen, lots of washing dishes and lots of note taking. However, the ultimate result was unanimous.
We have a winner! Congratulations to Bethany Cantrel for submitting her
These cookies had the perfect combination of flavor, texture and appearance. They were also easy and quick to make, with several variations listed to help personalize them to your taste. As an added bonus, they are made with dried cranberries so there is no need to wait until fresh cranberries are in season. These can be made any time. All in all, the tart burst of cranberry and sweet smooth texture of white chocolate makes these a perfect addition to any holiday cookie platter.
I hope you enjoy them as much as we did. Happy Baking
