Maybe I should make a few casseroles for the family because I will be gone for the next two days. Technically I won’t be gone gone, just in the kitchen doing my annual cookie baking extravaganza. Every year I spend two solid days baking four to five different types of Christmas cookies to handout to friends and family. The smell of sugar is so thick in the house that I am certain you gain weight just breathing in the cookie scented air. Right now I am looking for a new type of Christmas cookie to add to the plates this year. I would love to know what your favorites Christmas cookies are!
