Christmas Cookie Baking



Each year on the Friday after Thanksgiving, my aunts and cousins get together for our annual Christmas Cookie Baking at my grandmother's house.  This year there were 11 of us and we made 1,758 cookies.  We started at 7am and the first batch was in the oven at 7:37am.



Our official list of cookies included Maizie Taizies (21.5 dozen), Thumbprints (23 dozen), Peanut Blossoms (25 dozen), Buckeyes (30 dozen), and Gobs (39 dozen). Yum, yum, yum!


My uncle surprised everyone this year with hand-carved mini tart shapers for all 6 of the nieces (of which I am one).  They are on display next to the Maizie Taizies below.
