These look pretty good, right? Lovely spirals of cranberry filling in buttery dough
to liven up the holiday cookie tray. Except that they don't taste good! I spent way
too much time mixing, rolling, chilling, slicing for the mediocre results. This recipe
won't make the "holiday standards" list.
Okay, so in sharp contrast - our cookies look, well, not as spirally, pretty as
Mary's - but they taste VERY good. It's Grandma's gingerbread cookie recipe
and it rocks! I don't know that she ever made traditional Mr. T cookies, or
decorated a Christmas Mushroom Cloud, but I know she would approve of our
own Christmas cookie decorating tradition. You have to look closely, but
some other treasures are ET, Rachel's annual version of Tiny Tim (with webbed,
frog foot) and the ever spirit lifting Yule-time Hand Grenade.
