Christmas turns me into a baking machine...

Heh, I am not good at posting around holidays. Posting has already gotten scarce as I've been sucked into shopping and parties and such. Christmas kind of snuck up on me this year? I felt like I had all this time, and then all of a sudden, it's a week away and I'm only half finished my Christmas shopping and hadn't even put my tree up yet. (It's up now, don't worry.) One thing I made sure to get done, though, was my Christmas baking. :)

As I've probably mentioned before, my parents have the market cornered on Christmas butter cookies, so I like to try out new recipes to provide some variety. Here are this year's experiments, all delicious!
