Xmas Baking: Rounds 2 and 3
Last nite I made a double batch of pecan tassies. It only made 4 1/2 dozen though. I’ll probably end up making another double batch tomorrow along with my spritz/butter cookies. I probably would have made more last nite, but I spent about 3 hours trying to figure out why I couldn’t access my own websites when other people could. I don’t know if it was a DNS issue or what. But it eventually straightened itself out. I didn’t feel like doing any more baking after that.
Today, I made a batch of peanut butter cups. I ended up with 11 dozen plus 1 … 133 individual peanut butter cups. That’s all I’m making of those. They’re not hard to make, just tedious. Having to roll all those little balls and then coating them in chocolate. I think one year I made a double batch … can’t remember any more. That’s too many. I’ve hardly eaten any the last couple of years. I think I ate too many in the past.
I thought about making another batch of peanut butter blossoms tonite … so I could take some to work. But I’m not sure if I want to or not. Maybe after my dishwasher finishes its cycle so I can get my baking stuff out of there. Otherwise, I’ll just make some tomorrow. It doesn’t take long to make a batch of ‘em. The butter cookies on the other hand do take a while. I think I get about 7 dozen from a batch (it uses a cake mix, flour, and a pound of butter … guess that’s why they call ‘em butter cookies … 
). I use my cookie press (hence the spritz part). The pressure tends to build up and start to tick me off after a couple dozen. But they’re so good.
