I'm sticking to my word and doing cookie gifts for everyone this year, and I've been poring over every holiday magazine and cookie book I can get my hands on. So I picked out a handful of recipes that sounded good, cut 'em in half, and put the oven to work. I made:

I love my kid. And my dog.
Ha! I don't know you reasoning for making everyone cookies this year but for me, I'm only spending significant MOO-LAH on my kids, my hubby and Bam Bam. Everyone else gets the gift that keeps on giving..... extra weight! :)
