Christmas cookie question

In general how far ahead can you make cookies for the holidays?  It probably varies by cookie type. I want to bake this weekend but it seems early.

Re: Christmas cookie question

  • I tend to do it late, but I don't make tons.

    I've heard of people starting six months ahead, so a few weeks won't hurt.  You can also make the dough ahead and bake later so the cookies are fresher.

  • My annual cookie baking day with my mom and SIL is Tuesday.  You can always freeze the cookies.

  • My grandmother already made hers last week and froze them.  I made some on Sunday for my family cookie exchange this Sat.  It does seem early but Christmas is just over 3 weeks away so I think they'll be fine.

  • I don't make mine until about a week or so before Christmas.  If I would make them now...they would be gone by the weekend.  My DH LOVES cookies and seriously eats a dozen or so at a time.  It drives me crazy!  He will sit there and eat them as I'm putting them on the cooling rack from the oven.  I'm going to have to hide the ones I make this weekend for the cookie exchange GTG next week. 
  • I'm starting mine this weekend and just freezing them.
