Lucille’s Lemony Sprinkles

Make Santa one very happy man by leaving a few of these on a plate Christmas Eve. Or send a batch to a neighbor or friend. These light and airy sugar cookies are simply too good not to share!  Many thanks to the lovely Lucille G. for sending this recipe our way.  Lucille’s late grandmother found it years ago in a magazine, and every time she bakes them she still thinks of her.  Now we will too.
Yields 3 dozen cookies.

Bratty-Natty’s Berry Bars

WELCOME to the FIRST Annual Holiday Bake-Off here on The Daily Dish! I’d like to thank each of the lovely readers who submitted favorite recipes for me to share, and remind everyone else to say thanks by commenting below. NOW.. onto our inaugural recipe!

To really start things off right, our first festive recipe is the best of all worlds. Nutty, flaky, with a delicious whisper of sweet fruit, these cookies are decadent - yet virtually sodium free! My dear pal Natalie, aka CurlyWurlyGurly, confessed this is really her mother-in-law’s top-secret recipe.. but REALLY, who’s keeping track? Many thanks to them both for sharing.
Yields 32 bars.

HOLIDAY BAKE-OFF WINNERS!

It’s been five days of HARD WORK PEOPLE. Cranking out batch after batch of scrumptious goodies. Almond Butter Crunch at 9 am, elfin shortbread bites at noon. My yoga pants have never had such a workout in all their life.

BUT AS PROMISED, I am here to announce the three winners of my FIRST Annual Low Sodium Holiday Bake-Off. TA-DAHHHH!!!

THE PRIZES!!

Natalie (aka, CURLYWURLYGURLY) makes her debut today w/ Bratty Natty’s Berry Bars. We all know Nat brags about her lack of culinary prowess, but these little babies are FABULOUS. Many thanks NAT (and NAT-IN-LAW!)

Tracie has wowed me with one heirloom recipe after another. Look for her Grandma’s Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Fudge tomorrow. Big on taste and short on work, this one promises to please even your pickiest PB lover.

And last BUT NOT LEAST, the lovely Lucille G. sent a stupendous recipe from her own grandmother as well. Lucille’s Lemony Sprinkles will shine on Wednesday. Light and ethereal, these simple sugar cookies are simply DELISH!

MANY THANKS to Nat, Tracie and Lucille for sharing such delicious treasures w/ the rest of us. You’ve all earned a treat — look for Lindt Chocolate arriving in the mail soon!

And for EVERYONE: Now through Christmas Eve, check back daily for another new holiday favorite on THE DAILY DISH!
