What are you making this year? I can’t wait for this weekend to come so I can start baking some.
So far I’m thinking of a few recipes
Linzer cookies
Mary Berry’s ginger biscuits
Walnut snowball cookies or Mexican Wedding cookies
White chocolate, cranberry, tart cherry, pecan cookies
Classic Shortbread cookies

A nice selection. What is the Mexican one?

I'm not a biscuit/cookie maker really. But I might just attempt something. I do like ginger and I have some preserved stem ginger.

I think the Xmas cookie bakealot thing is Cherman in origin.
I might do some peppernuts for home consumption - gingerebread like cookies, no icing decor tho
 
My neighbor and her daughter just rung our doorbell and delivered something in a box, this is the second year they give us something.
I’m now more motivated to bake cookies to give them as gift. The pressure is on, haha.

Going back to my saved screenshots, this is the recipe for
Cranberry, pecan cookies and Linzer cookies that I made before. If I have time I will make these 2 cookies today.

I’m starting to assemble all the ingredients and found out I don’t have baking soda, I must gave some away to my sister, so I will make this recipe for now while waiting for my daughter to go for a walk and get baking soda. This is a new recipe for me, I have a big bag of pistachios, I must try this recipe.

My husband said he was going for a walk so he volunteered to get me a big box of baking soda.

I feel the pressure is on when my daughter said my neighbor gave me a box chocolate truffles from Dubai, it’s supposed to be the a trendy concoction according to AI. Why on earth do this hillbilly(moi) get such fine gift? I don't have a clue its value seriously.

The cherry and pecan cookies are waiting for the oven to heat up, I’m resting. It turns out I don’t have dried cranberries like I thought I did, so I used dried cherries instead, they are more expensive than dried cranberries, I also threw in some white chocolate bits. This batch is for my youngest child, she likes soft chewy cookies, my husband prefers the biscuit way, a bit more crispy.
I also just skipped the brown butter sauce nonsense, lol. I just used butter. I’ve used this recipe before, not a single cookie was left, all gone.
