Okay, pull out the measuring cups and unbutton those pants (you're going to need the space).  After goggling at cookie recipes all last week, we thought it'd be only fair to show some love to the rest of the dessert family.

And after all, we're all about being fair. 

Chocolates & Fudges

There was no doubt in your mind we'd start with chocolate, was there?  Okay,...

Ingredients:

1 cup soft shortening (or half shortening, half margarine/butter for added richness)
1 cup brown...

I enjoy a good challenge, especially when it comes to cooking or baking but when it gets to be the holiday season, I think it's best to go with the easiest possible recipes. I've already told about my feelings for cheating when baking for the holidays, but another possible solution to the rush of the holidays is to use very few and very common ingredients and simple techniques.

My Mom used to make these when I was a kid.  My 3 siblings and I would help twist the dough and add the sprinkles or, if I'm being totally honest, fight with each other until they came out of the oven then stuff our faces.  The recipe is from a neighbour but I've tweaked it a bit to avoid using artificial food colouring, which as you know, is the devil.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Soft...

I love baking Christmas cookies but find myself sticking to a tried-and-true repertoire.  (Not that my kids are complaining about being forced to eat Kris Kringles, Candy Cane Shortbread, and good ol' Chocolate Chip Cookies year after year.  Those little champs really know how to take one for the team...)

My Mother in law, Mercedes (alias Mechy) makes the most delicious cream puffs.  When she came to visit for the weekend, she showed me how to make them.  Unfortunately it's only been 24 hours and I've already inhaled at least 10, but there are no calories in food made from love, right?

Ingredients:
1 3.5 oz package of instant vanilla pudding mix (or you can make your own, you Martha...

I encourage cheating in two areas in life: when playing 'Go Fish!' and when baking (especially during the holidays). Just think: you're running around, decorating, cooking and you're not even finished your shopping and you're also expected to bake an amazing dessert? Do what I do, take the easy way out and cheat a little! 

This recipe, for what I think is probably the best...
