At one time I made one batch of many different cookies and would make cookie plates to share with the neighbors. Even with sharing them, we still ended up many more cookies than DH and I could/should eat, since DDs have moved to other states and we usually visit them for Christmas rather than them coming home. So Christmas cookie baking has more or less gone by the wayside. This year DH will make the Chex Party Mix which we will share with neighbors. Since I miss many of our favorite Christmas cookies, I will make a batch at other times of the year ... why only for Christmas?
Our favorites:
Oreo balls
Peanutbutter balls
Homesteaders
Double chocolate brownies
Pistachio cookies
Salted peanut chews
Russian teacakes
Coconut macaroons
Christmas rocks
