Greetings from Estes Park!
It has become a tradition around our house (OK, it's MY tradition) to bake white chocolate chip/sun dried cranberry cookies for the holidays and pass them out to those near and dear to us. It started at the boys' elementary school the first year. Everyone loved them and requested them again. The list became a little longer the next year to include a few business friends, both Flash Electric and The Yellow Mailbox Real Estate. A few more cookies were needed the next year for helpers for my Good Samaritan Santa Party, then more customers, then relatives...
We are up to 100 dozen a year... 50 lbs of flour, 25 lbs of brown sugar, a case of eggs...a little elbow grease and a lot of love! Here's the recipe:
THE YELLOW MAILBOX CHRISTMAS COOKIES: 1 LB. BUTTER, 2C BROWN SUGAR, 1C WHITE SUGAR, 1 TSP SALT, 1 TSP BAKING SODA, 4 EGGS, 6C FLOUR, 2C WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS, 2C CRAISINS. MAKES 3 DOZEN. ROLL INTO 2 OZ BALLS, BAKE AT 325 DEGREES FOR 12 MINUTES. (IF YOU ARE AT 8000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL...)
Merry Christmas from Lisa at The Yellow Mailbox Real Estate Services in Estes Park!
