Christmas cookies
I know Lesli started baking yesterday, and I think Christina had her annual family baking day this weekend...but has anyone else started? What cookies are on your list this year? Do you like to add new varieties or do you stick to tried and true favorites? Do you bake just for your house, or do you bake enough with the intentions of giving some away?
I haven't started yet. There was talk of doing a cookie exchange between my mom, my two sisters and I to kind of cut down on the amount we each have to do...but I haven't heard any more on that. I usually spend a whole day baking with my mom and we split whatever we make, but I don't think she's into it this year 
So I think I'm just going to do some at my house on my own. I'll just do our favorites: snickerdoodles, cut-out cookies, choc. chip, and peanut butter and probably just a batch or two of each for us to enjoy.
Re: Christmas cookies
i am splitting the cookie baking with my mom this year. she watches my 1 1/2 year old nephew during the day and she just can't get all the baking done she wants too. i am also have a cookie baking night with an old professor who i am very close with and another lady i went to school with.
for the cookies that i am baking for my family, i stick to our tried and true favorites. between my mother and i we will be baking: pumpkin cookies, chocolate chip cookies, white chocolate chip chocolate cookies, ricotta cookies, mint squares, magic bars, snickerdoodles, sugar cookies, pizelles, and oatmeal cookies. with my professor we will try new recipes. i plan on trying some recipes out of my martha stewart cookie cookbook.
