I'm done baking cookies except for one batch of honey spice. I ran out of frosting and had no confectioner's sugar to make more. so tomorrow that will be a good job for Sydney and Donna. Sydney was an excellent froster and Donna will be good at artfully arranging the lumps of dough. While I make nut roll and paula cuts, and cuts, and cuts.....
Paula will be doing the big job tomorrow-cutting. What a job that is. We hope to have some male muscle come in to help out in the afternoon-SO Dennis-if you're reading this-we need your help!
Usually Joanne does an absolutely amazing job of cutting-but she is in Atlanta for thanksgiving this year-So no Banzai cutter for me this year. I can't cut due to a physical problem so I always have to have someone else do this part. Tomorrow we will encourage Paula with maybe wine? or better yet-Melting Moments!
OK-what did I accomplish today? ALOT! worked straight through from 9 am to just about midnight.
30 doz melting moments (redo)
40 doz ginger lemon
20 doz honey and spice
20 dozen Hazelnut Rocher's
Raspberry Marzipan bars (quadruple recipe)
Here are some pictures. Notice the silpat under the hazel nut cookies, best way to bake is with silpat or parchment paper.
The three icings are for the three different cookies. One has fresh orange zest, the other has fresh lemon zest and the otter has fresh squeezed lemon and orange juice.
Tips an techniques all all these cookies after I get them out the door. Need to get to bed to start work tomorrow. Girls are showing up at 9 and i need to have the nut roll started by then. And Paula is always early. :).
