After reviewing recipes and then organizing them by type and method, I've come up with my list. Some are old favorites, others are kitsch that adds a little bit of fun to the list. I've provided the name and source below. As I begin to make them in the next few weeks, I'll post the recipes and my experiences. Here's the list for starters:
- Christmas Wreaths – Wisconsin Electric Cookie Cookbook
