Iiiiiiiiiit'ssssss COOKIES!!!

Saturday, October December 22nd was my official COOKIE DAY!

I baked, baked, baked all day, going out of my comfort zone to make some traditional family recipes that I haven't tried before.




Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies!

You would think I'd have made these before, but I hadn't, especially the crispy kind.


Nut Cups

This is Nanny's recipe, which I've made before. They don't last very long...



Fruitcake Cookies

These are my favorites, more so because I got my anti-fruitcake family to fall in yum with them!
These are for Pops; he doesn't like citron.




These are the ones with citron (candied fruit) in them.



This is a better picture of another batch. They came out crispy this year.
Wish I knew how I was doing that...




I wasn't going to post this picture, but then I saw the vampyre cookie in the lower right corner.




This looks like Play-Doh, but it's actually cream-cheese-cookie dough.





I used a cookie press to make these. It was a little tough getting them out of the tray.



So I used more colors and more disks in the press.



I wasn't sure what shapes the disks actually made, so that's why the purple wreaths.



I used this disk because they looked like hot dogs. I'm not sure what they're supposed to be...



Then I used tall the dough remnants from the press and made these!


These are all the cookies I made...




But wait!



There's more!


Believe me when I say I was EXHAUSTED when I was done!
