Yes, it's that time again....time to make the cookies.
My sister and niece and I are doing a small cookie exchange. My niece loves my snickerdoodles and Mom's gingersnaps, so she's asked me to make them for the three of us: sister, niece, and for here at home. My sister is making two kinds of cookies and so is my niece; I'm not sure what they're making yet. (Somebody mentioned Kiss Cookies and Oatmeal Cookies, but I'm not sure.) We each got matching buckets to put our cookies in and we will swap cookie buckets this coming weekend. I'm going to make my snickerdoodle and gingersnap doughs tonight and will bake cookies on Tuesday night after work.
In addition to the snickerdoodles and the gingersnaps, other cookies on my list include:
Snickerdoodles (just for Rick....you don't think I'm going to get away with only one batch of snickerdoodles, do you?
)
Chocolate Chip cookies
Cinnamon-Brown Sugar Biscotti
Cranberry-Orange Biscotti
Chocolate Crinkles
Drop Sugar Cookies
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunkers
Molasses Crinkles
Sour Cream Cut-out cookies (I thought I'd take these down to the grandchildren and we can decorate them together)
Killer Toffee Bars
In addition, I want to make Almond Brittle and Dark Chocolate Butter Crunch. I may make some marshmallows for hot chocolate, too. Honestly, once you've eaten a homemade marshmallow, you will never buy them from the store again. I swear. (I made some last year for hot chocolate and my sister happened to be there when I was cutting the marshmallows out. Then I rolled some in cocoa. And she sat there munching away very happily.)
