🛒 Ingredients
For the Cookies:
✔ 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
✔ ⅔ cup granulated sugar
✔ ½ teaspoon almond extract
✔ 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
✔ ½ cup seedless red raspberry jam

For the Glaze:
✔ 1 cup powdered sugar
✔ 3 to 4 teaspoons water
✔ 1 teaspoon almond extract

👩‍🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Dough:
✔ In a medium bowl, beat softened butter with an electric mixer for 30 seconds until creamy.
✔ Add granulated sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy.
✔ Mix in almond extract until well combined.
✔ Gradually add flour, mixing until the dough comes together.

2️⃣ Shape the Cookies:
✔ Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
✔ Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
✔ Using your thumb or the back of a small spoon, make an indentation in the center of each cookie.

3️⃣ Fill with Jam:
✔ Spoon about ½ teaspoon of seedless raspberry jam into each indentation.

4️⃣ Bake:
✔ Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
✔ Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

5️⃣ Prepare the Glaze:
✔ In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, 3 teaspoons of water, and almond extract until smooth.

✔ Let the glaze set before serving or storing.

Marshmallow Yule Log, also known as Church Windows or Stained Glass, is a classic retro Christmas treat. This delightful dessert combines colorful mini marshmallows and chopped walnuts enveloped in rich, melted chocolate, all rolled in flaked coconut for a festive appearance.

Ingredients:

½ cup salted butter
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
5½ cups (10.5-ounce package) rainbow-colored miniature marshmallows
1 cup flaked coconut
Instructions:

Melt Chocolate and Butter:

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth.
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly to prevent melting the marshmallows in the next step.
Combine Ingredients:

Stir in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Gently fold in the miniature marshmallows, ensuring they are fully coated with the chocolate mixture.
Form the Log:

Lay out a sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle it with half of the flaked coconut.
Transfer half of the marshmallow mixture onto the coconut-covered parchment.
Shape the mixture into a log, using the parchment paper to help form and roll it, pressing the coconut onto the exterior.
Repeat the process with the remaining mixture and coconut to form a second log.
Wrap and Freeze:

Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap to maintain its shape and prevent freezer burn.
Place the logs in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Serve:

Once set, unwrap the logs and slice them into ¼-inch thick pieces.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Storage:

Store slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
For longer storage, keep the wrapped logs in the freezer for up to 3 months; thaw slightly before slicing and serving.
This nostalgic dessert is a festive addition to holiday gatherings, offering a delightful combination of textures and flavors that evoke cherished memories.

Old-Fashioned Pancakes Recipe 🥞
These fluffy and golden pancakes are a timeless breakfast classic, perfect for starting the day on a cozy note.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 large egg
Instructions:
1️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
2️⃣ Make a Well:

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients for easier mixing with the wet ingredients.
3️⃣ Combine Wet Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg.
4️⃣ Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5️⃣ Rest the Batter:

Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This helps the gluten relax, making the pancakes lighter and fluffier.
6️⃣ Cook the Pancakes:

Heat a lightly greased griddle or nonstick frying pan over medium heat.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges set (2–3 minutes). Flip and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
7️⃣ Serve:

Serve the pancakes warm with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Tips:
For extra fluffiness, substitute regular milk with buttermilk.
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
If the batter is too thick, thin it out with additional milk, one tablespoon at a time.
Avoid pressing down on the pancakes while cooking; this can make them dense.
Details:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10–12 minutes
Total Time: 20–22 minutes
Servings: 4–6
Enjoy these classic Old-Fashioned Pancakes with a drizzle of syrup and a side of crispy bacon for the ultimate breakfast treat! 🥓🍯
