Here be Dragons….
Too late for Christmas this year but such a great idea. They make the sugar cookies as usual. Let them cool, then turn them over and use a line of icing on the back to stick the candycane onto it. Of course, make sure you position the candycane to be hooked onto things. The site says to let it set about 45 minutes.

Looking at recipes. Had a plan for a chocolate cheesecake in the turtles style (pecans and caramel) but need to change it. My brother is coming and can’t have nuts.

Becky Bakes: Dulce de’ Leche Cheesecake with a Chili Chocolate Ganache
Dulce de Leche Cheesecake with Chili Chocolate Ganache
Adapted from Taste of Home1-3/4 cups crushed gingersnap cookies (about 35 cookies)
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons butter, meltedCheesecake:
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 can (13.4 ounces) dulce de leche*Chili Chocolate Ganache:
1 bag (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp unsalted butter
This is perfect. You can cook stove top, it has two “induction hobs”, I looked it up, and its a type of stove top, uses less energy, and the heat goes to the pot, not the surface. To me that sounds great. And you can replace the microwave with a combo microwave/convection oven. And toaster ovens are the best thing ever invented, honest try one – can bake small batch’s of cookies, bisquits – many things. And as for the fridge being too small, I have one this size, and its enough for me, as I shop daily for most things.

Old Fashion Soft Sugar Cookies
2 cups granulated sugar
3 egs
1 cup butter (softened)
1 cup buttermilk
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups flour
Mix all ingredients together (I use a mixer)…drop by spoonfuls onto a greased (with Pam) cookie sheet. Sprinkle with granulated sugar (can use colored sugar if desired)…bake at 350 degrees until bottoms start turning brown.
You can add a little more buttermilk if you want them more of a flat cookie.
They are very easy to make!

I want to try these. I need to get stocked up on butter and I’m nearly out of milk too. But, don’t these make you crave cinnamon buns? Take a look at the photos on Claudia’s blog.
Would it really be too much to dip these in chocolate? Maybe it the chocolate isn’t overly sweet. It would look pretty good.
