That sounds so good!!!! I have to many favorites to list, but really all the Christmas sweets are my favorites lol, My momma use to make me fudge and pecan Divinty for Christmas, oh my gosh they were so good. 

stop!

If anyone has any good dairy free Christmas treat recipes (my little boy is lactose intolerant) please share! I am always on the hunt for baked goods recipes that my little guy can eat. 

I have started ..... I usually make "Goodie Trays" for all of my neighbors (5) and my hair dresser....

Chocolate & Peanut Butter Fudge, Oatmeal Cookies, Peanut Butter Cookies, Chocolate "no-bake" Cookies, Rasberry Thumbprints, Pecan & Cherry Tarts, and Christmas Sugar Cookies. 

nope

I knew that Norma would show up with her goodies to tease the ole Bear, ha ha ha ha ha.. 

Wish you were my neighbor Norma

I dont bake or cook much, but maybe someone has a recipe or more for you and the kiddo..

She loves to taunt me!

Scott .............Don't YOU wish you were my neighbor ..... I might even throw in a loaf of home made bread ...... LOL 

This may not be helpful but I will take what recipes I can and substitute where I can.  Some recipes that call for eggs or butter, you can use applesauce instead.  Where milk is needed you can substitute lactose free milk products.  If anything it may throw the texture that you are use to slightly off but the taste is still yummy.  The internet is full of substitute charts and measurements.  

If he cant have butter I have found that most cookie recipes that call for butter turn out really well with butter flavored Crisco.

Divinity is basically egg whites (I've used the store bought egg whites in a carton) & sugar.  And I loooove peanut brittle, he could probably have that.

You are mean and evil.  That's torture.  

He can have eggs. The issue is butter. And gee (clarified butter, doesn't have lactose) just doesn't bake the same. 

I will have to try the butter flavored crisco. Thanks for the suggestion! 

Ohhhh what pretty cookie trays! 

i saw a recipe   on bottom miny pretzels  then carmel  then cocolate     sounded good but i alway do new candy small batches

i ate with a spoon  not making it to give out not making it again

I'm three weeks into my cookie mania . . I'll try to post a really crazy cookie that took just over an hour to decorate!

Who in the world would want to break off a part of that cookie, its just to darn pretty to eat, lol.. How big is it anyways? I think it needs to be framed

The snowflake is just over 3". This one is going to one of my husbands uncles, and I hope they do eat it. It will be the only one like that! I was cramped up and burned out after spending an hour on it! 

Oh I'm sure it will get eaten, its just looks so darn good and yummy, but what a shame, ha ha ha ha..

You make the most beautiful cookies!!! and not only that they taste amazing!!!!  I love love love your cookies!!! I would buy from you!!!! You should have a shop if you dont already!!!!

yeah finally lost my mom praline recipe  but i found 1 that is just li,e hers

made them  to night oh yeah  they good

Not necessarily for Christmas but I have a 5 ingredient brownie recipe. 

1/2 cup flour

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup salted butter, melted

2 eggs

1/3 cup cocoa powder

whisk together butter and eggs then mix with dry ingredients. 

bake in a 9x9 baking pan on 350. 

bake 25-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 

I'm going to do chocolate chip cookies, almond joy cookies and brownies from scratch to give out. I may also stop at the local mom and pop candy store and get another treat to include with the goodies I give out. 

oh crap.  I guess butter is dairy. duh.  Maybe the butter can be substituted for something else.
