Dobie1018:
These recipes all sound great! I especially love the one that tamarack put up - the Cherry Festival Cake. I'm a 50's child and my mom used to make this cake each and every Christmas without fail. It just wasn't Christmas without this cake. I moved to Florida when I was in my early 30's and gone was the cherry cake. One year I phoned her and asked her for the recipe and she gave it to me. I've made it a couple of Chrismases since then, and it makes Christmas complete for me!

My Mom has made these for years. She uses pecans and I use walnuts; both make very rich cookies. I've thought of making this recipe using cashew nuts, but haven't yet gotten around to it.
Nutty Shortbread
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 cup ground pecans or walnuts -- use a blender or food processor to make a nut ‘meal’
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp (approximate) cold water
2 scant cups flour (2 cups minus about a tablespoon)
Additional powdered sugar
Mix softened butter or margarine, powdered sugar and nut meal. Stir in vanilla and water. Then add flour and mix until it forms a stiff dough.
Form into small flat cookies or roll into crescent shapes, and bake on a greased cookie sheet, 20-25 minutes at 325°.
While the cookies are still hot, dust with or roll in additional powdered sugar.

Yum, those sound good, and easy, too. Thanks, Marge! 8)

Thanks for the great recipe Marge! It sounds like these would just melt in your mouth!
Artiste:
Since you do not go to my threads on recipes nor origins of words or First Nations,
as I had no time to add such lately with death in family,
maybe some of you heard that cranberries is an First Nation food called atoka ?
Atoka Ice Cream
1 oz atoka juice
2 tbs sweet or not sweet dried cranberries (maybe whole fresh ones as I never tried that?)
3 cups 1/3 soft vanilla ice cream
Combine. Store to freeze until set.
Serve as cones or in bowl(s)
