Cookie monsters

Cookies, cookies everywhere. I made about 250 Christmas cookies on Sunday. At least a dozen of them went directly into the husband (which I take as a sign they turned out fine). I was nearly delirious by the end.

And I only make one kind. (And last year I made none kinds.) This year it's whipped shortbread. Just my speed. Four ingredients (five, counting the nonpareils). Both my sister and my mother make multiple varieties every year, and some of those are very labor-intensive (like buckeyes).

I stand in awe.

And in great appreciation of all the cookies of Christmases past.

Of course, of course! And I'll just state my respect for Christmas cookie Present as well, so we are all square.

Hey, do I hear cookie chains clinking?....hello...?

Oh dear - I think we did nine different kinds but not sure either of us has 250 cookies. Great work, LK -- and they are very pretty!
