Most of my Christmas baking is chosen from long time family favorites: German Butterballs, Candy Cane Cookies, Pumpkin Bread, Thumbprint Cookies - although I bake less each year. Last week, with the help of my daughter in law, I tried something I never even heard of, much less had done before. I made large, card sized molasses cookies, frosted and decorated with wonderful vintage images that might have graced postcards in my grandmother's time. These are printed on wafer paper and applied in a very simple way, completely edible, and a beautiful addition to our Christmas dinner. The photo gleams back at you due to a pearlized finish applied as the last step. If you are a baker, try www.fancyflours.com for these and other ways to add fun and fanciful finishes. OK, I confess, I already ordered some for Valentine cookies.
