Every year since I have been a little girl, my mother, sister, and I have baked Christmas cookies together. Some years my aunt and grandmother would come, sometimes not. For many years when I was young, my sister and I hosted cookie baking parties with our friends at Christmas time. ( That ended the year we got into a flour fight and caught the cookies on fire). To me, it isn't Christmas time until we have baked the Christmas cookies.
Now that we are all grown ups, we do a crazy version of a cookie swap. Instead of each of us making cookies and swaping with each other, we all get together and make all the cookies that each of us will need for the Christmas season. That means a whole lot of cookies. The whole kitchen is covered in flour. My floor is sticky for weeks. Half way through I had to con my husband into a trip to the store because we were running out of chocolate. Complete insanity but so satisfying.
This year we made:
Sugar Cookies
Butter Cookies
Mint Chocolate Cookies
Peanut Butter Blossoms
Coconut Bon Bons
Peanut Butter Balls
Almond Bark Pretzels
Peppermint Bark
Peanut Butter Fudge
Chocolate Fudge
So many cookies...so tasty.
