#23 Mama's White Fruit Cake (Family Favorite)

#23 Mama's White Fruit Cake (Family Favorite)

“This is the BEST fruitcake we have ever had! I made it twice this holiday season! It's moist and flavorful and great to eat any time of day or night (hence, having to make two of them!). Love the cherries and pecans. Each time I made this I was thinking of your Mom putting wood in the stove for hours; we have it so easy now. Thanks for sharing the recipe and the story.” - Barb
#22 Christmas Sugar Cookies

#22 Christmas Sugar Cookies

“We loved everything about this yummy sugar cookie recipe. Adding almond flavoring is an excellent choice and gives this a slightly different taste than traditional sugar cookies. The dough is easy to work with and bakes perfectly. The frosting on top is a great addition and with a hint of almond plays off the flavor of the cookie. We used a snowflake cutter and, somewhat, followed the decorating directions. They were super easy to decorate. These are the perfect Christmas sugar cookie but by swapping out the cutter you could make these for any occasion.” - Test Kitchen

#15 Hungarian Cookie Treasures

#15 Hungarian Cookie Treasures

“This is an old-fashioned cookie, but it's more like a mini-pie in cookie form. The dough's slightly sweet but the sweetness mostly comes from the jam and powdered sugar.
