Sherrill's favorite family Christmas Recipe

"One of our family's traditional Christmas recipes is Peppernuts or Pfeffernusse. These little German anise/spice cookies can be eaten by the handful! We gather as many family members as possible together and make double batches to share with family and friends. Even the little kids can help by rolling the ropes of dough and placing the miniature cookies on the trays. It is a long day but the aroma lasts in our house for days!"

Peppernuts

1 cup shortening                 

1 tsp. soda

4 cups brown sugar            

2 T. hot water
4 eggs                                
1 tsp. cinnamon
6 drops anise oil                
1 tsp. cloves
6 2/3 cups flour                 
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cream of tartar

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs; beat well. Add oil and soda dissolved in water. Add flour, spices, & cream of tartar. Chill for an hour and then roll dough into long thin ropes. Chill again. Slice dough less than 1/4 inch thick. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 375 degrees for 8-10 min. Cool. Store in air-tight containers. Will keep for several months if well hidden.

Yields 1 1/2 gal.





♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Christmas Notes from Sherrill ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪

I love to share my products year around but especially this time of year. Isn't it great to give and get unique gifts that not just everyone can buy at a store? I don't know about you, but I like to wear a different fragrance than every other woman around. With wonderful skin care products, anti-aging treatments, glamour items, and scented accessories, we have just the thing for women, teens, and men on your gift lists. All of our gifts are 100% guaranteed to please.



One of my favorites this season is our new sugar scrub with matching lotion and light fragrance spray. When you layer fragrance on your skin, it lingers without being overpowering. All 4 fragrances are so easy to wear. One or more is sure to fit the bill. Choose from Warm Amber, Exotic Passionfruit, Simply Cotton, or Sparkling Honeysuckle.

For your feet and legs especially after Christmas shopping or baking days, pamper your tired tootsies with mint bliss leg and foot treatment. For wonderful soft smooth hands try our Satin Hands set. (note from MariLee: I own the Mint Bliss lotion and it is my favorite! You will not be disappointed!)
