Gingersnaps

Happy Wednesday! :D Are you having a good week? Can you believe it's almost the end of yet another month?!?! <sigh> :D

Today's recipe for you is Gingersnaps from Better Homes & Gardens. This is one I use for my open house; I've been told they're the best gingersnaps several people have ever had. I like hearing that. :D

I use butter, not margarine. And don't skimp on the spices! If yours are too old, GET NEW ONES for this recipe. Spices DO go, and it's much better to have fresher ones.

Also, I have been known to use all KINDS of colored sugars on these - the large granules, please! For me they're just not gingersnaps unless it's large-granule sugar. :D

This DOES make a very large batch. If you don't need lots of cookies, perhaps half the recipe. Or freeze half the dough. Or make the whole batch and freeze some of the cookies - they stack and freeze really well! Just make sure they're completely cooled before you stack them on top of each other, or they'll stick. :)

OK, I'm outta here. :) Enjoy your day - may it be REALLY blessed!

Pumpkin Fudge

Good Monday! :D How are you today? Did you have a good weekend? Did you try anything new?

It was busy around here, but I took a few pictures of a couple of new things. :) Today's not a share-one-of-those days. :D It's share-some-more-recipes-from-the-open-house day!

This one is for pumpkin fudge, from Better Homes & Gardens.

I didn't tweak anything on this recipe. I educated my family on the different chips that are available during the holidays - but we don't live in a very adventurous area, so we don't see them too often. We did, however, manage to locate a bag of cinnamon chips.

They were yummy, and integral to making this recipe work. It was really good; people who like pumpkin really enjoyed it! Many people told me they'd never heard of pumpkin fudge; I used to purchase it at the Fourth Street Fair in Richmond, IN, where I grew up. :) It's nice to have a recipe for it, so I don't have to search for it so hard! LOL

I'd love to hear if you try this some time. Heck, I'd love to hear when you try ANYTHING I post! :D Have a WONDERFUL day; try and stay warm and dry, wherever you are, and BE BLESSED!
