I set myself the goal<\/a> of approximately 10 cookie kinds to be made over Saturday & Sunday, and I basically made it, despite falling off a stool, while reaching for a lid for one of my big cookie containers – and dislocating my little finger. I spent a couple of hours in the ER, but came back home and kept baking. Here’s a picture of my crooked finger<\/a>, but you don’t have to click on it if you don’t want to. I will never forget the feeling when the doctor gave it a yank and it clunked back into place. Guess I’ll need to take a little cookie box to the ER.<\/p>\n

It’s been a really, really compressed-feeling cookie season – I know I’ve said that before, but this year seems worse than years past.<\/p>\n

I didn’t even go outside on Saturday or Sunday, except to go to the ER.<\/p>\n

I’ll cross off the ones that are done as of 7:08 PM Monday, and add the few pics I have.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Springerle<\/a> I’m afraid these are going to be the ones i don’t get to this year, much as I love them – especially when they get slightly stale after Christmas. With black coffee. Maybe I’ll make a small batch for me even if I don’t make them in time to go in the boxes to ship.<\/li>\n
  2. spoon cookies<\/del> – but they seem kinda ragged this year<\/li>\n
  3. pecan meringues<\/li>\n
  4. pecan bars<\/del><\/li>\n
  5. chocolate toffee bars<\/del> used milk chocolate and no de-laminating – so far!<\/li>\n
  6. slice & bake the pistachio-cranberry and slice & bake the World Peace \u2013 I\u2019m only counting as one, because it\u2019s easy!<\/del> I tried adding a bit of extra flour to the pistachio-cranberry, and that seemed to counteract the spreading<\/li>\n
  7. Coconut cookies \u2013 I\u2019m trying a different recipe this year, rather than the Martha one I\u2019ve been using & have kind of a love hate relationship with \u2013 in <\/del>2015 they were too big<\/a><\/del>; in <\/del>2016 seemed too sweet<\/a><\/del>. I like <\/del>these <\/a><\/del>Gourmet<\/em><\/a><\/del> ones<\/a><\/del> better.<\/del><\/li>\n
  8. Moravian ginger thins, but again I decided to use a different recipe \u2013 an old recipe from Bon Appetit<\/em>, called spice crisps, from something like 1989, so I\u2019m not finding it online. I usually use it to make turkey-shaped cookies for Thanksgiving<\/a> but I didn\u2019t do that this year, so thought I\u2019d bring it out for cookie season. The dough’s made but don’t know when I’ll have time to roll them out … maybe Tuesday night.<\/li>\n
  9. Spritz cookies<\/del><\/li>\n
  10. Fig bars \u2013 cucidati<\/li>\n
  11. Rose\u2019s crescents<\/del><\/li>\n
  12. Mexican wedding<\/span> or Russian tea cakes or pecan snowballs or whatever the least culturally insensitive name they are at the moment.<\/li>\n
  13. Almond rainbow bars<\/li>\n
  14. Hazelnut chocolate crinkles<\/del> these are new this year – they look the same, but I usually make chocolate crinkles with walnuts & Sambucca. I think if I make them next year, I’m going to melt the butter<\/li>\n
  15. Peppermint patty brownies<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I actually think I’ll make my Wednesday deadline for having everything done to ship, but man it’s been a push.<\/p>\n
