*8CRANBERRY-WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES**

These sound good. I had a bar cookie this last weekend with cranberries in it. Do you have a recipe for anything like that?

[Alamo-Girl]

I am praying for you, dear carlo3b!

[Cindy]

I'll pray for your recovery too, myster-ak.

[Cindy]

That sounds yummy Salvation.

I have a cranberry-pumpkin cookie
recipe that is new to me this year.

I've made several batches and they
came out just great.

A wonderful thread; it brings back many happy memories of family Christrmases.

A prayer bump to you, Carlo!

And here's a Christmas cookie recipe from my beloved Grandma Helen:

---

Crystal Sticks

3 eggs, well beaten
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup finely chopped nuts
1 cup dates, finely chopped
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup flour
Beat eggs thoroughly then gradually add salt and sugar while still beating. Add vanilla.

Put flour and baking powder in sifter and sift a little into sugar and egg mixture, then add nuts and dates and sift a little more flour over them. Mix well and then add rest of flour.

*Bake in a greased sheet cake pan for approximately 30 minutes at 350°F. Cool in pan and then cut in strips and roll in powdered sugar.

*Test for doneness with a toothpick until it comes out clean.

I could use some real super duper prayers, on a few knees if you can spare them.

Many to spare, sweetheart. I have been a lurker to your posts.

Please, God...Carlo is a gift. He nourishes people with food, humor and love. We need him...watch over him tomorrow. Remember, your Son did the loaves and fishes thing and the water into wine...

Jesus is a foodie...as we all are who love Carlo!
