A fast and easy recipe that is great for mailing to friends and family, festively snowy white, and very tasty with a pleasantly crunchy and chewy texture. This recipe originally comes from my great-grandmother and has been handed down through four generations. My Grandma Sally makes these almost every year for Christmas and it is one of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes. The cookies will be chewy-crunchy when finished cooling, not gooey.

Baby Back Ribs, Smoked to Perfection
With this recipe, baby back ribs are smoked to perfection, and you'll learn how long it takes to smoke ribs at 250 degrees. I like smoked, buttery, and crisp ribs on the outside, moist and tender on the inside, which stay on the bone. This recipe is a variation of the popular 2-2-1 technique for smoking baby back ribs.
Freezer Slaw
Freezer slaw is a great make-ahead slaw that stays crisp! This is my husband's mom's recipe that's been in the family for years. I shred the cabbage and other vegetables in the food processor.
