Baking Christmass cookies like crazy!!!!!

Ok, haven't managed to bake anything in the cookbook, but someone gave me Amish bread starter & then I had to do a few other things, oh well, soon!!

My new project!!

This week I begin cooking from this new cookbook "Great American Home Baking" a thousand page trilogy to baking. Yummmmmm!!! Will do one recipe per week starting in chapter one, and randomly select recipies out of each chapter. I am starting with chapter one biscuits & rolls, onion dinner rolls. I am new to anything with yeast, but having good luck! Below I have posted pictures of the cookbook, chapter & product I will be trying! Wish me luck!

Tryed my first yeast breads. My first attempt was cinnamon rolls. Turned out ok could have stood a longer rising period! Next time!

Chocolate whip cream cake with chocolate filling and vanilla icing in the center!

My pound cake tryed in January, also to dry!

My daughter tryed two new pound cake recipies when we were in Oregon for Christmas. Old recipies don't always translate well with the foods of today. I believe after trying a recipie for pound cake from the bible (my 1932 Betty Crocker cookbook), that you need to use half and half instead of milk, 2% just doesn't cut it the cake is always to dry.

Both of these were flops, one was to dry, and the other I believe was a misprint in the cookbook, you can't make good cake without SUGAR!! That recipie did not have any sugar in it!

I Decided to make very colorful Christmas cookies this year! Lemon butter cookies w/buttercream frosting! Yummmmmmmmm
