The first year Jeff and I spent Christmas together I was in a cookie exchange. My first pick was peanut butter kiss cookies, but those were taken. Then I thought maybe I can make some sugar cookies? Nope those were taken too. The only thing left was gingerbread cookies. I had never made them before but volunteered anyway. After buying ALL the ingredients, flouring my entire kitchen, baking 12 dozen cookies, I called for reinforcements. My parents, Jeff and I spent about 5 hours frosting cookies. When the last cookie was finished up I vowed never to make them again.
The following year to get in the Christmas spirit I mentioned making cookies. Jeff said he loved the gingerbread ones, so...... anyway it's been a tradition around here even since. This year I made over 100 cookies, some gingerbread and some sugar. All need to be frosted and I'm pretty good at taking my time putting the finishing touches on them. Needless to say it's taken forever, but the cookies look and taste amazing. Merry Christmas Jeff, and for this there will be nothing for you under the tree ha ha ha
