Red Pepper Flake Seasoned Crackers {Jennifer's Recipe}
Red Pepper Flake Seasoned Crackers are a sure way to wow your guest at any gathering. I have been making these for years with oyster crackers, but in the last years, my daughter began to make them with saltine crackers, and her husband introduced the red pepper flakes. A perfect match to an already delicious cracker! When I take them somewhere, I have people so intrigued with these crackers. They will take a bite and then ask, "how long do you bake them, and how much butter is in them?" You almost want to keep them a secret....giggles.
Mince Cream Cheese Pie {aka Mincemeat Cheesecake Pie}
At Thanksgiving and Christmas, there are plenty of pies on the dessert table , but there is one that stands out to me, my Mincemeat Cheesecake Pie . The traditional Mincemeat Pie is made with a double crust and filled with a homemade mincemeat. For years, I made a more traditional one with a boxed mincemeat that had to be softened in water, somewhat how you would plump up raisins in a recipe. In 1976, I came across this recipe for Mince Cream Cheese Pie in my Betty Crocker Cookbook and have been making it this way ever since for the Holidays. This summer, I made another adaptation to this recipe using apples, Apple Cheesecake Pie . This cookbook is full of standout recipes I have made over the years. Don't you just treasure this kind of cookbooks!
Linzer Christmas Cookies
Linzer Cookies are Austria's most famous dessert. Traditionally the cookies are made with almond flour, and the cookies are sandwiched together with a layer of jelly or jam. The top cookie is dusted with powered sugar and has a cutout so the jam, typically raspberry, is visible making them very decadent. Linzer Christmas Cookies are an embellished version of the real thing. I make mine from my favorite sugar cookie recipe, sandwich them with seedless jam, and embellish them with drizzled white chocolate and sprinkles of coarse sugar, which makes them irresistible.
