Cookie Exchange attendees: I need your input
I am considering making a batch of my Italian fig cookies this weekend and am considering including them as part of the exchange (I'll also be making something else). I know not everyone would eat these, but they are way too labor intensive to make several for everyone when they're not going to get eaten.
If you (or someone else in your house) would appreciate them reply here and tell me. I'll be sure that I have enough packages that include them to cover those who want them. I will make a big batch, but I freeze them for us and give them away to family as gifts.
If you're not sure what I"m talking about, they're kind of like this

except that is NOT my secret recipe. For one thing, I do not use brandy or any other kind of alcohol.
Thanks!
P.S. I hope this doesn't sound like I don't think everyone here deserves my cookies! 
I am happy to provide some for everyone if everyone wanted them!

Oh, there is no question that I must make them. It never feels like Christmas until I take that first taste of filling out of the food processor!!
