One my mother made was a little butter cookie of exquisite tenderness and butteriness. She'd roll them in powdered suger or almonds, and they had almond extract. These--and pfefferneuse--whispered "Christmas!" and good things to come. I'm wrapping myself in a warm throw, toasting your health and happiness, and planning holiday treats for my now-grown kids.

And you make me think about the tennis shoe coffee cakes, and how I NEED to get that recipe from my Mom. I'm going to the Farm this weekend, so I am going to get it then. I HOPE it is as good as I remember!!rcakewalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646758033700076277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068230522284074298.post-72650971383858502492010-11-09T14:00:44.064-06:002010-11-09T14:00:44.064-06:00This is a beautiful, nostalgic post.

The way you describe the frosting, with the slight grit of sugar makes my mouth water. <br /><br />I was waiting for this post, and I guess I must have missed it! But just caught it now, in order to link to it. And btw, tennis shoe shaped coffee cake?

I have actually been known to soak my raisins in bourbon (or brandy) for recipes like this... a little indulgence for that "adult" appetite :)Lohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627131190832189839noreply@blogger.com
