[usafireandrescue]

@brewerbabe09 Hi! Thank you so much for the kind comment! This video was edited with Pinnacle Studio HD and the effect was from a proDAD Vitascene Plugin. Thank you again for stopping by! Hugs...

[brewerbabe09]

[becky81011]

what tempeter do you preheat the oven? oh and i love your videos!

[cholobabe1999]

i think it tased beter with a bit of mint

[SpoOox619]

Haha stop at 1:51

[Fikisko]

how come that food colouring just a drop of that changes it wildly

[usafireandrescue]

@Fikisko Hi! Thanks for watching. I use Wilton Icing Color which is a concentrated gel that does not water down your icing. It produces deep, rich colors with a small amount.... better than food coloring in many cases. These take some time to make, but they are so worth it. Happy Holidays my dear friend! Hugs...

[terceldude]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:) but is there a healthier alternative to shortening I can use? :)

[usafireandrescue]

@terceldude Hi! Thanks so much for watching and writing in. I really appreciate it. You should be able to substitute the shortening with butter or margarine, although I have never done it in this particular recipe. You may also want to cut back on the salt a little. Have a beautiful day and thank you again for stopping by. Hugs to you and yours...

[terceldude]

@usafireandrescue hello! ;) No problem and thank you for the tip and the good day wishes! :) Same to you and yours! ;-)

[bigzable]

Shortening is a dangerous transfat,that make your heart fail.

[bigzable]

Shortening is very verey very dangerous!!!!!!!!! Don't eat it man

[SemphasNecros]

[haszK]

HAHA cool!! Cooking is an great talent to have!! You should really open up a resturant!!

Only thing about the Hoildays , is that I always gain so much weight! lol

[usafireandrescue]

Hi! I just found this post. I'm so sorry for being late. Gain weight during the holidays? Yeah, I know what you mean. More time on the treadmill in January I guess, ha ha. Hope you and yours are having a great 2010 so far! Much love and hugs to you and your family!

[haszK]

You gaining weighting?! HAHA I really couldn't see that!! I wish I had your metabolism!!

[usafireandrescue]

Ha ha, you are sweet. I really try to keep a watch on my weight, but it's hard during the holidays and with having a cooking show. Everything in moderation, huh? Well, that and spending 30 -60 mins on a treadmill most days, lol. Thank you for the kind words. Big warm hugs to you and yours!

[usafireandrescue]

Hi Uncle! How are you? Thanks so much for writing in! These cookies are so good, but rich. Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year! Hugs!

[twistedpairpost]

Hey Amy, maybe next Christmas you could invite Santa to help you out. Cookies look tasty. Nice hat btw.

M

[usafireandrescue]

Hi Mark! I tried to bribe Santa to star in my video, but he said he was too busy, ha ha. ;-) Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I really do appreciate it! Wishing you and yours the BEST New Year Ever! Much love...

[flamexXxstrings]

Dear Amy, I don't have an over.

[usafireandrescue]

Hi! How are you? No oven? I'm sorry. That really limits what you can cook. I'll see about some more no bake desserts for you. Have a beautiful day! Hugs!

[flamexXxstrings]

WOW! thanks! looking forward to seeing your next video

[JimboJitsu]

[usafireandrescue]

Merry Christmas Becky! I always love hearing from you and everyone that comes here, I'm showing off Puggy! So adorable!!! Thank you so much for watching and writing in. These cookies are so festive and delicious. They do take time to make though, but they are really worth it! Frozen lemonade pie... so easy to make and it's both sweet and tart at the same time. Great with limeade too, or frozen strawberry daiquiri mix. Much love to you and your family!

[HorridFroth]

As always - YUM! Happy Xmas!

I have heard those called birds nest cookies,with jam in the thumb print and meringue on top.They are very good!!

[usafireandrescue]

Hi MsPinkPansy! Hope you are doing great!!! These would be awesome with jam and meringue! Yummy! I've tried jam before but never meringue! I'm definitely going to try that! Wishing you and yours a most beautiful holiday filled with lots of love and blessings! Hugs!

Merry Christmas and have a Happy and Blessed New Year! Much love to you!

[TheTeamPink]

I sadly have been sick and unable to cook or bake which I love to do but I am getting better and have the rest of the week off!! I am hoping to make some cookies at least!! You make it look easy!! Happy Holidays to you!! ♥

[usafireandrescue]

You've been sick? I'm so sorry. It's not fun being sick, and so close to the Holidays too. I pray you feel better soon! Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas a very Happy and Healthy 2010! Hugs!

[BunnyDrops]

Sounds yummy! Do you cater or make deliveries? I am too lazy this year to do my own baking.  LOL Just can't get into the spirit. I usually do the whole baking thing but I'm not up to it this year. I will be buying my goodies at the supermarket & they're just never as tasty as home made?

Luv Bonnie xoxo (love the Santa hat & your laugh is infectious!)

[usafireandrescue]

Bonnie! I left some cookies in your inbox! Too lazy to bake? I know what you mean. I'm like that too sometimes. Today though, I made a double batch of extra hot cinnamon rock candy. 4 drams of cin oil. It filled the entire house with very strong cinnamon scent and I had every door and window open to get fresh air! HA HA. Never a dull moment! Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year! Lots of love!

[BunnyDrops]

Thanks for the inbox cookies! Sure wish they were real though. LOL Making rock candy? Wow... good stuff! I buy candy canes of all different flavors for the kiddies but end up eating alot myself. (Do I really buy them for the kids? That's my story and I'm sticking to it!) Apple Cider with cinnamon is a treat too. Xmas sure is full of special treats! Gotta get off my ass here if I want some... lol.

[JTuttle24]

Hi Amy, ho ho ho love the Santa hat. Those thumbprint cookies look delicious. I wonder if toeprint cookies taste just as good, lol. 5*****

[usafireandrescue]

Jewel! How are you? ROFL over toeprint cookies. You are so funny! I still think SNL is missing out! :-) Actually, it's a good thing I made a double batch of these cookies, because I dropped the first batch onto the floor. Those almost became toeprint cookies because they were everywhere and I nearly stepped in them! Too funny! Hope you have a beautiful Christmas and the Best New Year ever! Much love!
