Last night I finished (mostly) our Christmas Cookies!! It took me two weeks and 8 sticks of butter…but they are DONE! See the pretty plate I made up for Archie to take to work today:

They are from the top-clockwise: The Best Christmas Cutout Cookies EVER,
Polish Apricot Cookies, Cherry Shortbread, Brownie Cookies (w/powdered sugar, w/ candy cane bits), and Lemony Snickets in the center!!

I say ‘mostly’ done because I am going to make more of the Brownie and Lemon cookies because the brownie recipe didn’t make much and the Lemon ones have been scarfed down by me and Molly (she LOVES them, and so do I). Depending on how the next week goes I may have to make more of the cutouts, too…we’ll see!!

I don’t know what it is this year…but I’m turning into a nutcase…cleaning and cooking and baking and…

(Cutout recipe coming later today…I swear it tastes delicious and was the EASIEST dough to work with I’ve EVER made…and I’ve made a LOT of cutouts in my time!)
