I was a bank employee many years & December was extra busy because all farm loans were renewed so we worked long days. Our children got meat, cheese, crackers, chips & dips as special treats and they were happy.
I still do the above and I only make 3 kinds of cookies. Never more. Cut out sugar cookies, something new and something I’ve made in the past, that’s it. I add foil wrapped candies to make the tray look festive.
