On Saturday, I bounded into the kitchen like a deranged elf and made Christmas treats. My plan was to have been done with all of it by Monday and I was way ahead of the game. Some of the treats didn't turn out quite as planned and I was feeling 2020ish about it, but then I put them all on a pretty plate and thought "I actually did GOOD".
The cookie tray is our traditional dessert for Christmas Eve , since we have a birthday cake for Bubbie on Christmas Day. I made 9 different treats for Christmas - some of them going into containers to give as gifts, others to place on this tray. Notice the brown triangles in the middle of the container? Those were supposed to be gingerbread cookies, but I ran out of Crisco and subbed butter, then I realized I did not have quite enough flour. I forged on and made some very delicious ginger thins! After I filled these containers I decorated them with stickers and To/From tags.
The above containers are for my peeps to take home with them! All in all, a morning well-spent. But before baking next year I will take stock of: *what pantry baking supplies I need to replenish
*how much time I want to spend on my feet in the kitchen at any one time
*containers I need
Have you done some Christmas baking?
