The First Snowfall and Holda's Chocolate Snowflake Cookies

We had quite a dump of snow this weekend and I have been having some interesting dreams. This one is definitely heavy on the UPG, but also is the reason for me starting this Holiday Traditions blog. I was dreaming last night that I was collecting Yuletide recipes and associating foods with different deities. I don't remember most of it but I remember that the one for Holda was Snowflake Cookies. This is a recipe that my mother-in-law makes each year during this season. It is a chocolate cookie with a powdered sugar exterior. Chocolate Snowflake Cookies Ingredients 1 cup/250 mL flour 1 teaspoon/5 mL baking powder 1/4 teaspoon/1 mL salt 5 tablespoons/75  mL unsalted butter 6 tablespoons/90 mL cacao 1 cup/250 mL granulated sugar 1 teaspoon/5 mL vanilla 2 large eggs 1/2 cup/125 mL powdered sugar Directions 1. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. 2. Melt butter over low heat and then mix in the cacao. Blend well. 3. Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar.

Introduction

This is a shoot off of my main blog. I suspect it will be a bit more fluffy. My idea is to collect here ideas for celebrating Heathen holidays. Compiling stories, recipes, songs, and traditions. Some will be based in reconstruction but a lot will be modern or adapted. I am going to start with Yule traditions, but I will branch into Sigrblot, and Winter Nights. And then Midsummer, Alfablot, Disting, Mother's Night, etc.
