I make cookie trays for all our friends and neighbors every year. I didn't make as many different kinds as I usually do. I did snickerdoodle, tassie, chocolate crinkle, peanut blossom, tea cake and mini cheesecake. I didn't do pizzelle, blackeyed susan or chocolate chip. I got a little slack for not making chocolate chip. A while back my brother Mark use to come to Dallas on business. One time he mentioned the warm chocolate chip cookies the Double Tree Hotel puts on your pillow at night were really good. I obtained that recipe and I have been making them ever since. The chocolate spoons are a big hit with the kids. Most of the time they just eat them, but sometimes they stir them in their hot chocolate. The girls usually give the spoons to their classmates with a festive cup and homemade hot cocoa mix.

You bake a lot of the same cookies that I do. Mini cheesecakes, snickerdoodles, peanut blossom - all the good ones that I had growing up. Although this was the first year that I didn't make peanut blossoms - I made buckeyes instead. Didn't want to have too many peanut butter / chocolate combos. I'll think I'll definitely make them next year though. Christmas isn't the same without them!
