Forget fitness momentarily please. This Saturday about 30 ladies on DH's side of the family will convene for a holiday cookie bake. Every year all the women on this side of the fam get together to do SOMETHING for the holidays - see a play - go to the orchestra -- go shoppin en masse -- do "at home facials" whatever. And while we are lady bonding, all the gents cook us dinner and then serve us. It really is a cool tradition.
Last year I suggested we rent a commercial kitchen as whip out a bunch of hoiday cookies. They loved the idea and put me in charge -- 'cept the commercial kitchens in our area have closed. So I have rented an old YMCA dining hall that is huge - 4 ovens, commercial everything. We ladies (and our daughters) will all go and bake all day and the men will prep dinner elsewhere, then bring it to the hall and finish cooking and serve.
It's my gig this year and I have it all ready to go -- BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT COOKIES TO MAKE. Usually I make a lot of "rolled" cookies - buckeyes, russian tea cakes, etc. But I don't want to use my time rolling. Sooo -calling your favorite xmas cookie recipes please. TIA.
