Unlisted Family Recipes

I've been making Christmas cookies with my mom all day and I found that a lot of the cookies we make aren't in any database I can find. Some of them, it's because I only know them by the name my family uses for them, which is usually a poor translation of what my Italian great-grandmother called them, and others, because they're kind of obscure. How do you calculate calories for unknown baked goods?

I use this recipe calculator: http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php?process=resubmit&count=10

It's not perfect, but it's helpful.

sparks people (or something like that) has a great section to input recipes and they will give you the nutritional facts.
