Re: Who will be baking cookies?

Not me. There is no one that eats that sort of thing ,here. I did bake years ago, when my children were kiddies

 

But age and diabetes has taken my desire to do this now, away

I'm just making one kind molasses ginger, and I will eat too many of them. LOL.

Re: Who will be baking cookies?

We are having a family Channukah and Christmas celebration at one of my BIL/SIL's, and I offered to bake cookies. I have a recipe for Chocolate Chunk cookies that people always ask me to make.  I do it with nuts and without since a couple in the family hate cookies with nuts.  It's INA GARTEN'S recipe.  I just tweak it a little!  They are amazing.  My husband,  who LOVES chocolate chip cookies, says they are the BEST.  Thank you Ina.

@Shorty2U-

That is so nice to share that special time with your granddaughter.

I'll look forward to that when mine are older!

I used to really like making cookies,

but now I just enjoy having someone else make them and me eating them!😋

My youngest sister and I baked cookies every Christmas but she passed away six months ago. We'd bake two or three different kinds of cookies, then sit down with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy the fruits of our labor. I plan to carry on the tradition with my other sister and my niece.

Re: Who will be baking cookies?

I'm not a cookie eater (really not much of a dessert eater) so I don't bake.  I don't even own a cookie sheet nor do I ever have the supplies on hand.  My mom still makes her waffle cookies and a couple of other kinds for Christmas but I haven't eaten one in years.  She always tries to make me take a couple of dozen home but they just don't get eaten in my house. 

 

I'm a meat & potatoes girl (take after my late dad).  I'll gladly take a little leftover ham and scalloped potatoes home with me though.  Woman Very Happy

Re: Who will be baking cookies?

I bake Christmas cookies and give them as gifts. They’re mostly drop cookies, but I do take the time to make Tea Time Tassies, which are tiny pecan pie tartlets. I usually start baking the week before Christmas so I can distribute them on time. I’m cutting back on recipients - as they move away, I don’t automatically give cookies to the new neighbors.

Re: Who will be baking cookies?

I'm hoping to bake this year.  Best made plans!

 

I wish I had room in my freezer to start early but I don't.

 

So far my plans are for mini loaves of banana bread, egg nog bread, Boston brown bread and spritz cookies.

 

If I do the spritz cookies, I need to make extra, as fast as they are cooling from the oven they are being gobbled up!
