Carol over at Just Let Me Quilt is having a linky party for Christmas cookie recipes. Mmm, mmm. Sounds good, but I'm not much of a baker anymore.
A few years ago the quilting rage was "stack 'n' whack" quilts. For this you would carefully cut and stack several--sometimes 6 but mostly more--of the same pattern from a print fabric. Then you cut or "whack" into pie shaped pieces. Taking all of the same "pie cuts" and creating a new block was the next step. From the varied prints/designs and cuts you'd get a truly remarkable new design somewhat similar to a kaleidoscope.
Today was my day to do a bit of baking, and I mean a bit. Here are my "stack 'n' whack" cookies--in picture form.
Then stack however many you will be cutting into pie shapes. For six pie wedges use six cookies--but I used only four cookies and four pie wedges.
Then take the "stack" and put it back into a circle.
Bake.

I love the quilt block connection to these cookies and how cute they turned out. I must try them! Thanks for linking to my party!
