After enjoying yesterday's Mokonuts cookie I thought I'd try another of theirs. This time the Chokochunk...

It's a good chocolate chip/chunk cookie, but the multigrain iteration is better.

It's been quite a while since I've had a mince pie...

Obviously they're unknown in France, so I had to convince my neighbour that there was no actual mince/ground beef in there before he would try one. But he was a fan.

 

Recipe here. (Just don't tell the neighbour that I used beef suet as the fat.)

Cranberry Squares. 

 

I make them most every Xmas season.  It wasn't easy finding fresh cranberries here in Central Mexico in mid-December.  One of the 'gringo' markets imports them in October for CDN Thanksgiving, estimating what they'll be able to sell thru US Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I got one of the last 2 bagsj crammed in the back of his freezer!   We were in US thru mid-November and buying cranberries didn't cross my mind until a few days ago.  

 

Baking in my un-insulated and thermostat-less Mexican oven is a challenge.  It managed to mostly hold the 350 degrees (it's recipes above that temperature that often fail).  I added an extra 10 minutes to the 1 hour bake time as the last 2 attempts at this recipe had a dip in the center with some underbaking.  

 

We just took a taste and these are spot on!

They look delicious, @gulfporter. 

 

Could you please give the recipe? (I have fresh cranberries!)

 

Recipe says 'pour' into pan but mixture is very thick. I place in pan and even out the top.  If using frozen berries add 5 minutes to bake time.  I toast the pecas before adding.  And I beat eggs and sugar 5 minutes because our MXN white sugar isn't ground very fine.  

 

I don’t think you can overbake this, so no harm in erring on the longer side of baking.
