Sticky Toffee Pudding Thumbprints
These sticky toffee pudding thumbprints are the world famous British dessert, made as a cookie! They have a chewy, date-filled cookie base and a rich, buttery toffee filling. You will have extra toffee sauce left after filling the cookies; but there is literally no downside to this.
Amazingly Good Eggnog
This eggnog recipe for thick, creamy, and sweet eggnog with just the right amount of spice took me several years to perfect. The egg yolks are tempered for safety, and you can adjust the amount of rum to taste, or leave it out entirely so the whole family can enjoy this rich holiday treat. Once you taste it — you'll never serve store-bought eggnog again!
