First cookie kind:
Joy of Cooking lebkuchen
These are the ones that are kind of a sleeper – just a plain brown bar cookie, with a lemon & powdered sugar glaze that tastes mostly like raw cornstarch and too-sharp lemon at first. They age and mellow and the combination gets pretty special.
I also made these fruit balls, that are a Molly Wizenberg recipe – but they still need to be topped with chocolate – they’re not wearing their cute chocolate hats, as she says. That’ll be tomorrow. Looks like last year I thought they’d be a good batch – I think this year’s will be even better.
