we made these from last year's December issue of bon appetit and they were FABULOUS:

Pecan Thumbprints



the raspberry rugelach recipe from the same issue was also very good


we usually make at least a couple variations of Martha Stewart's icebox shortbread every year... I like this because we slice and bake as needed, so the cookies are always fresh

10K.  Strong windchill made it feel like mid-February out there.

Boiled potatoes dipped in salt have been a staple at longer races for decades.

Definitely an idiot. And can't believe there are those on that thread I linked who will defend him to their graves. 

I can.  Just because it's letsrun.  But it's nice to see Murph publicly calling them to the carpet over it. 

And naturally the slapper dude is a youth group and boy scout leader.

Very yummy diablita!

I think my favorite cookie last year from the mail route (I have customers that are amazing bakers) was a rather excessive peppermint sandwich cookie that had been rolled in crushed candy canes.  So sugary.  Sooo good.

My mom used to make those but used chocolate stars instead of kisses.

We don't have a specific recipe we make but we were invited to a cookie exchange party on Sunday so DD and I made these:

Perfect sables.  They turned out delicious.  Cooling on the rack now and DD will decorate over the next couple days.

I'm into molded cookies, so....

Coconut springerle (Santa on a horse mold)
Flaxseed Spekulatius (My antique horse mold)
Orange shortbread (Antique butter molds, pineapple and wheat)

I have a ton of regular type cookies saved on my Pinterest page to try. But... I kind of don't want to be eating too much sugar right now, so I'll probably save experimenting for next year.
