Christmas Cookies

[Burkhardtbffl]

How many people seriously have all thier Christmas cookies done.....I haven't even had time to start ours and ofcourse the kids wnat every single kind I've ever made.

I don't make mine in advance, think that is gross...cookies that have been sitting there all week?

I make mine the day before and Christmas eve.

[Burkhardtbffl]

i have a problme called everyone wants to eat them once thier made..........i usually make the cookie dough and freeze most of it pendning on the kind but this year i feel like i don't have time to even do that

[Kymberli0529]

Yeah, that cookie dough monster would be me  lol

I only make three types of cookies.....

Amnesia, peanut butter, and sugar cookie cutouts.

Amnesia are the last because they go in overnight, peanut butter are quick, and the kids decorate the cooked sugar cookies.  Than, I tell my boys they can have one cookie but the rest are for santa because if he doesn't have a snack..he doesn't leave gifts.

Awful, I know but they're young enough that I can get away with it.

we usually make chocolate chip, peanut butter w/ the hershy kisses, snickerdoodles, spritz and than cutouts(my least fav. but the kids love it). my husband wants me to make meringues this yr but i'm ready to make chocolate chips and call it a day

Luckily, I only make cookies because I want to.  Between my Mother and Mother in-law I have no reason to make cookies.  Husband and kids are satisfied so it is such a stress free venture for me, it's probably the most relaxing thing I do over the holidays lol

i normally love to bake....it's actually one of my favorite things to do but lately i've been so tired i don't want to.....actually i need to go to bed....nice chatting w/ you

[Kymberli0529]

I know how you feel.  This year has just got me feeling so run down for whatever reason.

Nice chatting with you, too.

Have a great night.

I usually start cooking christmas eve! I cant wait!  Any good recipes anyone? lol

[lynnc35]

I got myself signed up to bake everyone a box of cookies for christmas, so wednesday I will be spending the entire day baking 20 dozen cookies and that is no exaggeration. That is how many I am going to need to fill every box.

[Cuppycake]

I made 4 dozen cookies, 2 batches of candy and 2 batches of brownies. But none of it was for me lol! I still have to work on the stuff for us...

[jamielinn]

I'm participating in a cookie exchange tomorrow and have baked until I can't stand it anymore - I don't even want the cookies they'll trade with me tomorrow now!

[jeffblahnik]

My only job is to help eat them after they're made.  It's a great deal.   

[janell07]

I don't make cookies for the holidays.  Anyways, this year I am not to eat them.  I am about 6 1/2 weeks away from having our 2nd child and the Dr. said I need to watch what I eat (not because I have gained too much, but for other reasons).

We just bought the ones you get at the store and bake so we don't have to have a specific time to prepare them. BUT we're making homemade banana pudding which isn't a cookie but it might be even better than a cookie if done correctly.
I am so going down this Christmas..with all the sugary treats. :O
