Giada de Laurentis is my hero. She is to me, what Julia was to Julie. Seriously. Her recipes are light, easy, and phenomenal.
Pignoli (or pine nut) cookies are a a most recent holiday staple. In reality, I usually only make 5-6 different cookies come Christmas time (peanut butter, chewy chocolate gingerbread, pignoli and yet to come molasses rounds, sugar cookies, gingerbread men). This recipe has become a holiday classic in my family.
Now we're 10 days away from completing my cookie mission and 10 days away from Christmas. So far on my list of things to do: get a star for my tree, take my last final, get ready for Saturday's 2nd Annual Cookie Baking Party (yes, it's a tradition in the making!), and clean the guest bedroom for G's brother's 2 week stay.
A few days ago, this cookie bake was getting stressful. Now that there's less things going on, it's back to the relaxing joys of hanging out in the kitchen... and having a bite of something sweet.
