wishing you peace, love
&
joy
Christmas may be the most wonderful time of year, but in our
Better
Homes
and Gardens
®
Test Kitchen
and photo studio,
it’s a year-round celebration—how lucky are we? I started
planning this issue right after last Christmas, the cookie taste
testing started in late winter
(yum!),
photography was done
by late spring, and we spent the summer putting the pieces
together to create deliciousness for your holiday season.
So what did we put on the cookie plate for this year?
Every
scrumptious thing we tested and sampled!
That
said, the
following are my favorite parts of the magazine.
One Dough, 5 Ways:
The
title speaks for itself.
One
easy-
to-make dough gets tweaked
ve dierent ways to create
bars, sandwich cookies, and more
(page 74).
But
here’s the
best part—we give you the option to create three dierent
cookies from just one batch of the dough. With some easy
adjustments, you can make three swap-ready treats at once!
Copycat Candy Bars:
Think
of these bars as pans of bliss
(page 60).
We took the
avors of your favorites and turned
them into soft, melty, warm-from-the-oven treats that
won’t hang around long on the party scene. Seriously gooey
nougat, layers of caramel, and swirls of chocolate are where
it’s at.
Cookies
for a
Cause:
In the season of giving, we’ll show
you how cookies have brought hope and help to those in
need
(page 10).
Four
nonprots and committees across
the country shine the spotlight on how they’re baking to
make the world a better place.
(Plus,
they share their best-
selling recipes!)
Each
of the stories in the magazine shares the decadence and
festivity that bring us together during the holidays. So before
I continue rambling about what I love, take a peek and get
started on this year’s holiday baking!
