Bake-A-Thon 2009

Walnut Balls.
Need I say more?

Nana is on a bake-a-thon this week. She's digging up her mother's Christmas cookie recipes and baking some for her brothers. And since she lives with us, we get to have one or two ;-)

So, besides baking Hay Stacks, Frozen Oatmeal Cookies, and Chocolate Chip Bars, she baked some Walnut Balls. All I can say is ....... thanks Grandma for the recipe :-)



First you have to mix the batter.

Then let Jordan taste it to make sure that it tastes good.

That's her job.




Then crack an egg, separating the yolk and leaving the egg white in the bowl.







Then roll the batter into small balls of dough and dip them into the egg whites and then dip them into the walnut pieces. Getting the ball smothered and covered in walnut pieces.





Line the balls on a cookie tray and press your thumb into the center of the ball.

Then put a teaspoon of Red Raspberry Preserves into the thumb print. Then put them in the oven and lean back and enjoy the Heavenly smell.

Then let Jordan taste one to make sure that it tastes good before packaging them up and mailing them off.

Then package and mail the ones that we didn't get to. LOL !

Merry Christmas from our kitchen to yours !
