“I really want that meatball.”

Couch negotiations continue.

Socks and I are having a discussion about the couch. I told her it is safe and very comfortable and will result in more pets. She doesn’t quite believe me.

New foster Socks is not too sure about things, but she let me scritch her ears. 🥰

The traditional last cookie: all the stuff that I have left over, if it sort of goes together. 😁 These are cherry, almond pistachio, coconut oat cookies. PHEW!

Andes mint cookies. I never plan on making these, but somehow I always buy too many bags of chopped up mints.

Zimsterne! The traditional shape is stars, but I do various Christmas related cut outs.

Next, we have chocolate peppermint shortbread trees, which I actually baked yesterday and decorated today. These were new this year.

OK, it’s the last day of #CookieParty! We have FIVE to do. Let’s go!

Cherry chocolate coconut snowballs are first up.

I was so disappointed with the messed up hot cocoa cookies that I made another four batches. These are the peppermint ones and they look better. The other ones will go in the donate pile (they still taste good, they’re just not the same hot cocoa cookies I’ve been making for 10 years).

I have to say this is the only flavor I thought I might not like. Don’t put savory in my sweet! But it was delicious. You could really taste all the flavors and the pepper was a perfectly slow, mild heat.

The vanilla chai pinwheels. Did I forget to put sugar in these? They’re not my favorite, as my nephew used to say when he didn’t like something. 😁 They don’t taste like chai (or anything) to me. If you don’t like sweet things, you might love them. They remind me of whole wheat bread.

I went to a new (to me) fancy chocolate store and bought some feelings. It says to eat them within 12 days, so that’s two per day right? 😁 then it will be time to start my Vosges Haut advent calendar.

Maybe I just notice it more now, but the audiobook I am listening to has repeatedly used the word “nimbus”. 🥺

Back at it. Toffee snowballs with mini chocolate chips, pecans and pieces of toffee. Unfortunately, some of them broke apart when I rolled them in powdered sugar, and they had to be…. disposed of. 😇 #CookieParty

The last of the three kinds of cookies I baked today - pistachio spritz. I didn’t take a picture of the peanut butter maple, but those are my favorite.

I also mixed up three more for baking later this week.

I am exhausted.

Grasshoppers! My grandmother used to make the drink at Christmas time.

The baking store told me the people that made the tree and star sprinkles went out of business, though. I only have a small stockpile.

Finished Christmas Confetti Biscotti. This is Molly Yeh’s recipe, and you can adapt it for any occasion by changing the color of the sprinkles. It’s delicious and easy to make. #CookieParty
