Not wanting to tarnish my macho man image here... but once upon a time (a long time ago) I used to spend many days baking Christmas cookies every year to box up and send off to the "special" people in my life, but I quit doing that for some reason. (I don't really celebrate any holidays anymore except Thanksgiving... oink oink!) ![[Embarrassed]](im/redface.gif)
When I did the cookie "list" it basically included ALL of the cookies on my Christmas cookie pages. I guess that's the reason I published all of my Grandmas cookie recipes in the first place.... long ago. The snickerdoodles and rosettes have always been my favorites. I wish I could bake as well as Grandma did but no one will ever top her treats!!! She was the BEST grandma in the whole world!![[Love]](im/graemlins/love.gif)

Does anyone make lots of cookies for Christmas?? I do! I love making Christmas cookies. I usually don't start to make my cookie list until after Thanksgiving, but I've had them on my mind, so I started my list. I get Taste of Home magazine and always find some really pretty cookies to make. Has anyone else started to make their cookie list?? What do you normally make?
