I know I'm in trouble when I'm only in day three and I'm all ready sick of cookies! Usually this doesn't hit me until my final batch of cookies on the final day of baking.Santa wouldn't appreciate the words that come out of my mouth. Then again, I believe I redeem myself by leaving him a big plate of cookie and a tall glass of milk on Christmas Eve.
You have to understand, with each recipe, I have to try the dough AND the cookie to make sure it came out perfectly. It may not sound like such a tough job but when you make three to four different types of cookies a day, it gets sickening. And I get sugar rushes.
Sunday I started my cookie baking. I made chocolate logs dipped in white chocolate, cut-out cookies and peanut butter blossoms. Monday, I made magic bars, raspberry chocolate bars and pecan toffee bars.
Today, day three, I'm all cookied out. The sad part is, I have ANOTHER day of baking! I know I'll get through it once I get started. Besides, today I'm making MY favorite: my great-Aunt Josie's recipe for butter balls! Yummmmm! I'll also be making lime thumb prints and egg nog spritz. If I still have the energy, I'll add one more cookie recipe.
Oh! Did I mention I made 120 vanilla marshmallows and 120 chocolate marshmallows? Insane, aren't I?

Donna, you are indeed crazy. My boys and I did 4 hours of baking on Sunday -- and I was loopy. The fact that the Steelers lost didn't help, either

I wonder who started all this frenzy of baking cookies. She couldn't have been an old lady with a bad back. I make cookies for my neighbors every year but I find that my enthusiasm wanes after standing on the tile floor for hours making sure they come out well. My husband has to try at least two or three before he says they are ready to give away. If I give them away my own triglycerides will come down I hope.

just as long as you already made the marshmallows . . .
