They are done!! The final list included 9 different kinds of cookies. I am on a sugar high after eating cookies and dough all day. I love Christmas cookie day but I'm glad I only do this once a year.

The day started at the grocery store to collect all the right ingredients. I knew it was going to be a good day when the first store I went to had EVERYTHING I needed, including the red and green candied cherries that have been know to cause a day lost hunting at store after store in the past.

Mmmm! Cookie Dough! And my trust Kitchen Aid Mixer. I love that thing and really hate to leave it behind. There is no dough that the Kitchen Aid can't conquer.

Seven layer bars. OOey Goooey and delicious!

An all-time favorite - peanut butter blossoms. Had to stuff a few of them in my mouth before the chocolate cooled.

Light as air Coconut Macaroons. These are Dad's favorites and he's already had a few.

Walnut Rugelach - These are a guest cookie. I have the regulars and then a few guest appearances each year. These have a great flavor but I don't think they are moving over to the permanent list.

Spritz are a regular on the list. These guys are just a solid cookie, fun to make and cute to look at at.

Another old faithful - Cream Cheese Wreaths.

Mamma Mia!! Pizzelles!

Ok, Kyle... Here they are... Ricotta Cookies. They came out very well and sis and I have already had a couple tonight.

And finally, another guest cookie... They are supposed to be Angel Wings but I didn't have the right cookie cutter. So now they are Almond Rounds, I guess.

Happy Holidays and Wish You Could Share Some of These with Us!!!
