Hipbone, Kate, Hadar! Hello! It is good to see you here!

Merry Winter Holidays to you all!

Tia Maria would work fine, Steph.

Karyn–great roundup!

Benjamin–you are welcome. I made a double batch of Frostflowers this year and have been enjoying them. I can eat black pepper again! I am very glad you liked them.

Aparnaa–use 1 1/2-2 teaspoons vanilla extract instead of the vanilla paste.

It is up to you. The vanilla flavor goes beautifully with the coffee.

Hey Barbara,

These look like rocket fuel indeed. Yum.

I wanted to say thanks. I tried one of your other Christmas cookie recipes, the “Frost Flowers”, and they were a big hit with the family, though a few did complain that they tasted like liquorice. I suppose that was the star anise, but they are the picky members of the family anyway, so they get an Edith Anne raspberry. ^_^

Hadar – I made “Snazzy Snowballs” today (you can find them on my blog). All the sweetness of cookies, but there’s no wheat, no eggs, no dairy – they’re a cookie a lot of people with dietary restrictions can enjoy.

Check out Food Bloggas Christmas cookie roundup, too. Lots of cookies, some wheat-free.

Barbara – Yee gads! I hope you’d have a buss after using six tablespoons of instant espresso, plus chocolate and Kahlua! I’d be running around in hyperspeed (so yes, they do sound like my kind of cookie!).

Would [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tia_maria]Tia Maria[/url]

be an OK substitute for kahlua?
