This past weekend baking was on the agenda - my daughter and I baked 180 NUT TOSSIES, which our family loves. I am including the recipe in this post:
Dough: 1/2 lb butter,
6 oz. cream cheese
2 cups flour
Cream butter and cream cheese together then add flour and mix til crumbly. Work together with hands and mold into 60 nickel size balls and place each in a nut tossie cup
Syrup
2 eggs beaten
2 tsp melted butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla
Place syrup mixed in a container with a small opening or spout for pouring (see picture below) put about 2 teaspoons of the syrup into the bottom of each lined cup and add about a tablespoon of crushed nuts to the level of the doughs top edge. It makes about 60 tossies - bake at 350 degree for about 20 minutes til dough has a tint of brown around the edges. Store them in a plastic container with a not so tight lid in a cool place.

Each year 5 favorite family cookie recipes are chosen from the Christmas Recipe file plus one new one to try. This years new one will be a fruit and nut recipe which a friend sent me - I'm going to be make small ones in the tossie pans. Pam has a recipe blog where she posts unique recipes from "down under", and a Cloth to Creation blog on which she posts images of what she creates and sells - practical items and unique ones using vintage materials. Right now she is working on a blog challenge to post a photo every day for the month of December! It's a tough challenge to keep, but Pam is doing it, and I'm finding the posts very interesting because Pam is an interesting person and I'm getting to know her more and more through her blog.
