I haven't even thought about it yet!!!
Always do sugar cookies, but we switch it up each year. I did find some things that look good on www.thenorthpole.com. But really haven't decided yet!

I also have a secret FABULOUS cut out cookie recipe.
My mom goes all out and makes fudge in a few flavors,
peanut brittle
divinity (BLECH!)
Manger animals
peppermint bark
sugar cookies
and I am sure there is more but I haven't been home for Christamas in 4 years so I can't remember.
The craziest part is that she can't eat ANY of this.........she is allergic to EVERYTHING and sugar is top!

I am so not a baker! I love all the goodies of Christmas, but I just don't have the patience to make them myself.
I did, however, sign up for a cookie swap. I don't know what the HECK I was thinking on that one... Now I have to make eleven (yes I said 11) dozen cookie for the 19th. Holy crapola I am in trouble!!!

I am going to make some chocolate spoons. Melt choc (you can add liquers, flavours,etc if you want) and dip a plastic or cheap spoon into the chocolate. Wait until set and then wrap in plastic wrap. I am then going to wrap in red tulle and give to friends to stir into their hot chocolate / coffees!
Will make some shortbread too and maybe biscotti.
