I wasn't going to bake a lot of cookies for this Christmas. There just weren't that many functions that I needed to supply cookies for this year.
But then I discovered I needed to bake cookies, because that's what I do. So I did. Including the kinds that the kids helped with, I made ten different kinds of cookies. Most of them went right into the freezer as soon as they were cooled.
Now they are emerging from the deep freezer to be shared. I decided to give most of them away.
We had a little family Christmas with sister-in-law Jan and her partner Ann on Saturday evening. That was an occasion for unpacking the Fitz & Floyd cookie tray and loading it up. The fatigmand, sugar cookies and gingerbread are on another tray. We ate lots of them, and then I packed up the rest to send with Jan to California, where she will join Brother Dave's family for Christmas.
On Friday evening we joined my siblings for a get together at a restaurant in Chehalis. I gave each of them a tin full of cookies.
Friday morning I gave tins of cookies to our breakfast group, and have a few more friends to give to.
I should have just enough left for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Your cookies are beautiful and make wonderful gifts. I love that you needed to make cookies.
ReplyDeleteThese look so wonderful I'm glad you don't live any closer to me or I'd be eating them, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteThey look amazing and very moreish...Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful cookies make generous gifts, for sure.
ReplyDeleteOh, Linda, they look scrumptious! We bake cookies for gifting our neighbors each year, but it didn't happen this season. Perhaps if I dedicate the week to baking, I can still pull it off. Have a great week! XO
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed. Your cookies look professional. My mouth started to water!
ReplyDeleteLook delicious and I finally baked a few!!
ReplyDeletelooks yummy-great family tradition of baking together!
ReplyDeleteLucky recipients of your baking! A neighbor brought us a huge tray..so I didn't bake any cookies this year:)
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look great. I admire your culinary ability.
ReplyDeleteFamiliar looking cookies but very few have been made around here for a long time. Several churches have cookie walks as fundraisers so we get our cookies without the work.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Olga.... your cookies look so professional. Mine never do I'm afraid. Those getting tins of your cookies are very fortunate.
ReplyDeleteYou are so good at this. Gorgeous cookies indeed. Merry Christmas to you all.
ReplyDeleteYou've baked a beautiful array of Christmas cookies. I'm sure those who received them were very appreciative.
ReplyDeleteI really need to send you my address and a pre-paid shipping box.
