I'm still thinking I might try to make sugar cookies with decorating icing kits for the kids to finish.
Not sure what else yet, but sugar cookies are a must.

These chocolate peppermint patty cookies - fabulous
although I also added a layer of chocolate ganache on top of the cookies and then the white drizzle/candies.

Deb, like anything else, it's easy once you know how. Plus, it doesn't hurt to have a bevy of trees
in the backyard so even if you mess up, you can just toss out a batch and start over. I've posted my basic recipe somewhere on the swap but would be happy to post again if you're interested.
When we moved into this house, there was one fig tree which produced enough fruit for us to eat in season. Today however, we have an additional pair of adult-sized white (aka green) fig trees that "volunteered" and another couple of black fig trees growing in that came from who knows where. (Methinks the local aviary population had a great deal to do with this, however.)
The desire to do something with our fruit surplus evolved into my learning how to make preserves. This year's batch included Green Fig, Green Fig with Cognac and Vanilla Bean, Cardamom-Fig, Green Fig with Grapefruit, Green Fig with Crystalized Ginger & Candied Lemon Peel and Black Fig, Rosemary and Orange. (Then there's the olallieberry jam, Meyer Lemon and Key Lime marmalades and other flavors I made 'cause we have other bushes and trees and things were slow, I had the jars and sugar is plentiful.)
