Stand up for something you believe in.

Do you bake by yourself or with others? usually just with Mark- used to with my mom and sister
This year due to Pinterest, I will be doing way more and giving them as gifts. We have some awesome neighbors and I am sure we will need to have some items on hand. Mark is throwing some craft brews in a basket and I will don them with cookies and goodies.
Do you bake Christmas cookies? usually, yes
Are they for your house or do you make them for gifts? a little of both. I like a variety, but we can't eat them all by ourselves, so some usually end up going to work with Scott.

Do you make anything else? (chocolates, fudge, candy, etc.) If so, what? my grandma's marshmallow fudge
Do you bake by yourself or with others? usually just me, but if I lived by my fam it would probably be with my mom and/or sister.
I don't think I'm really making anything this year. We're gotten a lot of cookies and cupcakes from leftover craft show stuff, and I'm uber busy between no wand when we leave for Christmas. And I don't really feel like spending and spare time baking. My little spare time is spent lounging these days. I do have a goal of making homemade marshmallows this winter. Not sure that will happen before Christmas, but maybe in January.
Do you bake Christmas cookies? Yep.
Are they for your house or do you make them for gifts? Normally just for the house, but I share at work and with my parents.
What kind(s) do you make? Last year I made chocolate chip, nut crescents, snickerdoodles, sand tarts, gooey butter cookies, apricot thumbprints, raspberry thumbprints, and oatmeal raisin. This year I think I'm just doing gooey butter and apricot thumbprints. Plus I'm going to try and recreate my Grandmother's recipe.
Do you make anything else? (chocolates, fudge, candy, etc.) If so, what? Last year I made caramel crumb bars. This year I will probably make a truffle of some sort but I am undecided.
Do you bake by yourself or with others? Mostly by myself but last year my mom helped with the rolling and cutting of the sand tarts and Rocksie supervised the transfer of cookies from oven to counter.
Here here!
I do however make Gooey Butter Cookies by the masses around Christmas. Usually. I don't know if I will this year or not.

What kind(s) do you make? Sugar cookies to decorate, gingerbread, caramel bars, chocolate chip with nuts, and this year I think I'm going to try white chocolate macadamia with candied cherries.
Do you make anything else? (chocolates, fudge, candy, etc.) If so, what? I normally make truffles but last year they didn't turn out. This year I think I might do fudge instead just because I haven't in a while.
