INTERACTIVE ~ NOVEMBER 2008 AP Graphic: Kid friendly focaccia For most people, the tough economic times will quash the usual holiday spending spree. And maybe that's not such a bad thing. A decked out kitchen can be fun, but a kitchen full of friends and family is even more so. And it's free.

INTERACTIVE ~ NOVEMBER 2008 AP Graphic: Twelve Days of Holiday Cookies The challenge of making multiple varieties of holiday cookies is that each batch usually requires a different set of ingredients, a different method, different equipment and probably different oven temperatures.

Which is why we developed this system for creating a dozen deliciously distinct holiday cookies. |
