Don't Forget The Pups, We Love Them Too! |
Nothing says " I Love You" more than a bag of homemade goodies, made with love of course. Another snowy day in New England, perfect baking weather, not that I consider myself a baker. I would much rather make a tray of lasagna than a batch of cookies. I consider myself more of a cookie tester than a baker. My mom, my two sister's and my daughter... now they're bakers.
For the cookies I used Jam Fig and Peach Mango for fillings.
I'm a huge Ina Garten fan, so I used her recipe for Shortbread recipe. Her recipe is by far the best.

I also used Ina's recipe for the White Chocolate Bark which is basically melted white chocolate sprinkled with anything you want on it before it sets.

I covered my bark with shelled pistachios and dried cranberries.
The leftover cookie cut outs were dipped in melted Ghiradelli Chocolate and sprinkled with toasted, chopped pecans. I also stuffed some with melted chocolate.
