Today, for my fourth post in the Deadly Force Christmas blog series, I’m sharing my recipe for Raspberry Linzer Cookies. I have to admit that this is a more complicated recipe that also takes more time and has a small yield. But I make them because my family adores them. They’re like an early Christmas gift for those I love.
Calum Prioleau: We’re playing charades in the mansion. Don’t laugh at the vision of a room full of dishonorably discharged (and falsely accused) Green Berets acting out scenes from A Little Mermaid. For the first time in months, everyone–including their leader Kells–is having fun. Kells also seems to love the Raspberry Linzer Cookies. So far he’s eaten six!
It’s as if the cloud of worry and despair my friends have suffered under has lifted. And it’s not from the Christmas Cranberry Punch or the bourbon. It comes from the belief that no matter how bad things get in this war between their two enemies, they have each other. Even if this sense that all will be well is only temporary, it gives me hope. Then again, that’s the whole point of the season!
