It's Cookie Season Again!

It is that time of the year again...cookie season! Last year I had planned on making 12 different kinds, but I think I only got to 10 or 11. This year I have 15 kinds on my list and 5 kinds already done. I make them in advance and then freeze them in a chest freezer in our basement.

I make tins of cookies for the neighbors, send them into my husband's work and use them for holiday parties. Last year I sent them to my brother in Iraq. I am so happy that this year he will be home for Christmas!

Here are the kinds I planning on:

1. Chocolate Chip...DONE
2. Split Seconds
3. Venetians (Rainbow cookies) (my family's fav)
4. Oatmeal Butterscotch...DONE
5. Chocolate Revel Bars....DONE
6. Ricotta Cheese cookies
7. Chocolate Truffle Cookies
8. Orange Truffle Cookies
9. Turtle tassies
10. Spritz
11. Linzer cookies
12. Pecan Pie Bars (my brother's fav)
13. Thumbprints...DONE
14. 5 Layer Bars...DONE (Yummo! This was a Paula Deen recipe)
15 Mint Brownie Bites

Well...what do y'all think? Are there any type that you love to make that are not on my list????

I am not sure the freezer can hold them all...may have to cut down my list. :)

I'll start baking next week. I love peanut butter cookies and oatmeal cookies as well as the ones on your list, some of yours I'm not familiar with. Have you considered putting your recipes on your blog? The thumbprint cookies-are those the peanut butter cookies with the hershey's kiss in the middle? That's one of my favorites. Have a great Thanksgiving and have fun baking!

Yes, as someone else said: you should put a few of those tasty sounding recipes on your blog :) Have you tried the mincemeat cookies- recipe on the box. Mix a little xxxsugar glaze to brush over them. Mince cookies are better after a short stint in the freezer.
I am glad too that your brother is home this year!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Can you send some of those cookies my way? They sounds heavenly! I just baked pumpkin chocolate chip bread for Thanksgiving and that's pretty much all of the baking I do for the holidays! I hope the cookies make it to Christmas!
