Christmas Cookies!!!

Whew! I finally left work today at 12:30 pm and don't plan to go back until January 2nd. Yesterday was our Christmas skit, which several of us had spent around a week writing (just silly spoofs and funny songs) and a whole hour rehearsing. Anyway, I came home and together with Jane put together a couple of cookie trays for some of our neighbors that Elroy and Judy will deliver tonight. Judy and I had worked hard over the past week baking and decorating cookies with quite a few successes and a couple less-than-stellar end-products--however when the basic ingredients are butter, sugar, flour, and egg one can hardly do badly. Here is a picture of the cookies....not bad for our first attempt at multi-cookie Christmas baking. Included are sugar cookie cut-outs (Christmas trees, stars and bells), chocolate covered peanut butter balls, Amish raisen cookies, pistachio and cranberry biscotti dipped in white chocolate, chocolate-chip-toffee, black and white, and crisp chocolate bites.
