Christmas cookies…yep, I love them. I love them, so much, that I do not really bake many or any, depending on the year….because I will eat them and then I’ll need to go on another diet. My mom use to bake a lot of Christmas cookies. They were baked and stored in tins and we were not to touch them! Although I am pretty sure that all 6 of us may have lifted one or two from time to time…
Most of my family bakes some of Mom’s favorites, and have for years… and yet…sometimes they think I am ‘the’ recipe box. Don’t get me wrong, I love hearing from them, but this week it became almost comical…as the Christmas bakers went to work.
…and so I texted it again…
…and then my sister in the morning…
and then my sister again in the evening…
and then a sister-in-law…
Yes, my mother had a recipe box…don’t we all…and yes one of her children has Mom’s box…only it is not me…it is big brother Day-Fud… Hmmm, I wonder what recipes he has in there that I need…perhaps I’ll text him.
Happy Baking!
My Mom’s gingerbread men, were really from her best friend, Esse.
and her cut out cookies…from her mom, my Gramma…
Yes, Joed! My Gingerbread-man cookie cutter is very cute!
I have some dough for the Christmas tree cookies in the fridge right now. Only I cheat….I roll it into logs, making them into refrigerator cookies. Then instead of rolling them out, all I have to do is slice them thinly. It’s not as fun as Christmas trees and Santas, but it’s a whole lot easier!
I understand…but Gramma would not be happy!
Very funny! You are the mighty wizard of the Christmas cookie recipes. And thank you for sharing!
They are all very yummy!
