One Christmas, during my early teen years, I got the crazy idea to spend the entire day in the kitchen baking cookies. I think my mother thought that I had lost my mind. I have a great Mom. Not only did she let me take over and mess up her kitchen but she helped me gather up 12 different cookie recipes and their ingredients.
I spent ALL DAY baking cookies and ended up with more cookies than one family could eat. I still don't remember
why I did it....I just like cookies and wanted to see if I could do it. I'm weird like that.
This year, I decided to bake 12 different kinds of cookies again.....
virtually! You see, I have a big aversion to kitchens and cooking now. But looking at recipes and eating....that I LOVE! So sit back, grab a cup of hot chocolate and let's (virtually) enjoy my 12 cookies for Christmas.

Enjoy!

Shasta, thank you SOOO much for participating in the 12.12.12 link-up. I feel so incredibly blessed by all of the participants' posts and their willingness to share insights. This post of cookies is AMAZING. One of my dad's favorite cookies is the "cowboy" variety and the Oreo cheesecake bites are screaming my name. Can you hear them? "Nicole!" "Nicole!" "Nicoleeeee!"
ReplyDeleteUm, this post did not help me even a little bit. I'm trying to NARROW DOWN my baking list!!! Not add 12 more yummy things to it! I made the eggnog cookies last year. They're really good and I have some eggnog in the fridge, so they're on my "maybe" list. Crud. Back to the drawing board.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, these all look amazing! My 12 year old has been baking a lot and I thought we were done, but I might need to get him to try one or two of these recipes. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays. Visiting from Thee Networking Blog Hop! Please stop by my blog & follow back if you haven't already. :)
