Ok my Recipe forum friends, baking is not in my wheelhouse but since there are 87 recipes in this link I thought maybe my more talented friends could find a recipe or two that piqued their interest during this fun holiday baking season:

Thanks! I love Delish.

BTW, I think you meant piqued. A spelling bot may have inserted the wrong word.

@momtochloe Thank you for the link and for starting the December, 2018 thread that @Zhills requested.

Those mini eggnog cheese cakes on that Delish link sound yummy--I may just have to try them out!

Well you are most welcome @aroc3435 and I am glad you found a recipe that may grace your table this holiday season. Thank too for your support of the Recipe thread especially the next ingredient cardamom as a few years ago I ordered what I thought was cinnamon sugar from a site and realized when I looked at the bottle it had cardamom in it . . . hey, what's cardamom? Well I have to say that is my absolute favorite spice blend so whenever I see cardamom it makes me smile . . . thank you my friend!

@momtochloe It is an interesting ingredient. Can be used in a savory or sweet recipe. Sometimes I think I pick a "next ingredient" that is too obscure and maybe kill the thread's momentum.

Since I'm newer at participating after being a long-time lurker I'm hoping some of the wise long term participants will come back, if they can, and post more regularly.

Like . . . @forrestwolf . . . have you got something for us, if you have the time?

Lots of other names, too, that I don't remember off the top of my head, but I sure have a lot of their recipes printed out or copied by hand and have used in my cooking and baking repeatedly over the years. Thanks to all of you.

The recipes thread is more fun than just "googling" for recipes because you know people here have usually used them, or disclose they haven't yet, but think they sound good.

Yes unfortunately @aroc3435 we have lost some really terrific posters but I do see some are coming back when they can and I am so glad you came to join us too! I think there are folks lurking so it would be great to hear from them as there was a time that there was some unfriendly people posting but they seem to have moved on so I hope we are in the process rebuilding our community. I am just glad you are here and helping us to rebuild!

Made these Chocolate Truffle Cookies for a cookie exchange this weekend:

1 1/4 cups room temperature butter

2 cups powdered sugar

1/3 cup cocoa

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup sour cream

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/4 cups flour

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Powdered coating:

1/3 cup cocoa

2/3 cup powdered sugar

Cream butter and sugar in big bowl with electric mixer. Sift in cocoa and salt, then mix to combine. Beat in sour cream and vanilla. Blend in flour with mixer at low speed. Stir in chocolate chips. Place cocoa for coating in pie plate. Place powdered sugar for coating in a second pie plate.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll lightly in cocoa. Bake on parchment-lined baking sheet at 325 degrees for 9-10 minutes until just set. Cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet, then for 5 minutes on wire rack. Roll cookies in powdered sugar before storing in airtight container in refrigerator.

Oh goodness @deepwaterdotter those cookies sound delicious and maybe even I wouldn't mess them up (I have never seen sour cream in a cookie recipe). Thanks for sharing your recipe!
