Twelve Days of Cookies

by Alicia at BalancingMotherhood.com on November 29, 2007

It’s time to make cookies! Yesterday I got my first installment of The Food Network’s 12 Days of Cookies email. Now I know it’s Christmastime.

Each year the chefs and editors at the Food Network find 12 cookie recipes they like best and email them, one at a time, for 12 days. The recipes are an inspiring way to get in the mood for the holidays.

Way to go Food Network. I already love you — I’ve learned so much from you over the years. I think it’s the way many Americans are learning to cook: From Emeril, Paula, Giada and all the others. You remind us that it’s OK if we don’t know how to boil water; just watch, listen and try it out.

Food TV’s Web site is a favorite stop for me. If I like a recipe on one of its shows, I immediately go to the Web and save a copy. Make note of this — you must get the recipe within a certain time period. I don’t know how long they keep recipes up, but I’m still searching for a Paula Deen recipe that uses ice cream sandwiches for an amazing frozen dessert pie.

The frozen ice cream sandwich recipe I’m looking for doesn’t have PB&J in it, but thanks for looking! The one I saw (several years ago) used ice cream sandwiches that you bought from the grocery story, then she cut them in half and put them in a pan and poured some kind of liquid goodness all over then, refroze and cut like a sheet cake. Looked amazing!
