New Recipes

I have been searching for new recipes to try this holiday season. The following are what I found, enjoy!
If you find anything that looks good and would like to try, email the name of the recipe and we will do the shopping and fit it into the schedule!
I have tried to include most of what is in the recipes to give an idea of what it might taste like, and in case there are food allergies.

Cookies:
I have a million cookie recipes I would like to try, but we aren't focusing on them so I only included a few.

Nut Wedges

When looking at a slideshow I found this recipes. The description said for baklava lovers, without the hassle. My parents LOVE baklava. So, I thought this one might be good to try.

Includes: honey, nuts, cinnamon and chocolate.

Vanilla Bean Shortbread with Orange Buttercream

My dad LOVES shortbread, this is a bit of a twist that takes it to the next level.

I know a lot of people hate fruitcake, but my mom's side of the family loves it. I thought this is a good twist on a classic.

Bars:
I have been trying to stay away from links that will be time consuming to flip through. In this case, I decided to make an exception. Too many of these recipes looked amazing, I couldn't decide which ones to post.

Fudge

I found a slideshow of some amazing looking fudges, but the links to the recipes are broken. Everyone loves fudge. When we make it in our home it is the first thing to disappear. There is the classic chocolate, or peanut butter, but I also found a recipe for cookies and cream fudge, and honey macadamia nut. If there is one you would like to try I can find a recipe for it!
