The Weekend Cook: Busy Holiday Weekend

By , About.com Guide   December 3, 2009

Follow me on:

It's hard to believe there are only three weekends left until Christmas is here. And next Friday Hanukkah begins! So let's spend this weekend making wonderful food for family and friends that will still leave you time to shop, wrap, decorate, and socialize. These menus feature easy recipes using convenience foods, your crockpot, and make ahead tricks. Have a wonderful weekend!

About.com Cookie Exchange!

Our Guide to Australian Food, Syrie Wongkaew, loves Chocolate Melting Moments a buttery cookie filled with a creamy vanilla icing and then sandwiched together. They literally melt-in-your-mouth!

And Diana Rattray, Guide to Southern Food suggests Mom's Date Drop Cookies. A delicious date filling makes these easy drop cookies extra-special, and they make a great addition to your Chirstmas cookie list. Or try Raspberry-Filled Almond Cookies, made with a cream cheese cookie dough rolled in coarsely ground almonds, then filled with a dab of seedless raspberry jam. Feel free to substitute candied cherry halves for the filling in these cookies.
