The weekend after Thanksgiving, my DD, SIL and I made 15 BATCHES of cookies. This is the 11th year that we have done this. We share the cost and divide an equal amount of cookies between us. We pop them in the freezer until we are ready to deliver. My DD makes holiday gift bags for her co-workers (24 this year) and makes up holiday plates for people who have done something extra nice for her during the year. I send half of mine to the grand kids in NC, then half of what's left goes to a dear friend who hates to bake but whose husband loves cookies. Not sure what the son-in-law plans for his share. Over the years we have done different types of cookies, but we try to mix it up so our gifts look colorful, some with frosting, some with drizzle, chocolate, peanut butter, cranberries, green sprinkles, coconut. Every year we say we are going to cut back, but then we can't seem to decide what type of cookie to leave off of the list.
