We have been working hard on our baking. We don’t purchase many gifts for the holidays. We make most of our gifts and usually they’re edible. R has done much much more baking than I have but I try to help after work. This year we’re making 11 new kinds of cookies, 2 new kinds of candies/snacks, and one new cake. We’re also making the 8 kinds of cookies, 2 breads, 1 cake, and dog biscuits that we always make. We’re up to 56 dozen so far and will soon run out of room in the freezer. Here’s the list of what we’re making:
Cookies
- Almond Roca Cookies
- Butter Horns
- Coconut Cranberry Macaroons
- Cream Crescents
- Galletas Maria
- Ginger Cookies
- Iced Sugar Cookies
- Jelly Filled Crescents
- Knots
- Loaded Oatmeal Cookies
- Lusikkaleivat
- Mazurkas
- Monster Cookies
- Pecan Dreams
- Snickerdoodles
- Sugar Cookies
- The Chewy (the best chocolate chip cookies ever and I don’t even like chocolate)
- Viennese Vanilla Cookies
- Zimtsterne
Candies/Other Snacks
- Cinnamon Pecan Twists
- Praline Pecans
- Pretzel Yummies
- Rum Balls
Breads
- Cranberry Nut Bread

We’d be happy to share recipes. Just leave a comment or send an email. We’ll be uploading photos of the cookies soon. We plan to include a list and photo of the cookies we give away as gifts.

Holy cow! That’s a lot of cookies! They sound great and I’d love to see pictures. I just posted a Heath Bar cookie recipe on my blog if you are looking for something new. http://www.poppycat.wordpress.com
