When David and I first came to Sunrise, we wanted to make it a tradition to take Christmas Goodies to all the families in the church. Well, we did not foresee the growth that our church has experienced in the last couple of years. We have about 65 families in our church now. Talk about major baking!! (Yes that is a cake container upside down holding chocolate chip cookies...we filled that container twice).
Every plate had enough goodies so that each family member could have one goody of each kind.
What kind of goodies you may ask...Well there was....
Peanut Brittle (a favorite of many)
White chocolate dipped pretzels w/ sprinkles
chocolate chip m&m cookies
Peanut butter blossoms (my personal favorite)
There was also fudge (not pictured but also a favorite of many).
These are the plates that filled with the cookies (like I said we had a lot of families and delivered 4 times this many). This was fun in past years but poor Annika was soo tired of being in the car (it did not help that we would pull her out and put her back in eventually we just left her in the car delivered the cookies and left). We did not stay at the houses to chat or we would never have gotten all the cookies delivered (in fact we have not delivered them all and many will get theirs after Christmas we are running a tad behind this year). :o)
Just wanted to share one of our Christmas tradition....

Ben and I also bake cookies each Christmas...like you've implied "bake cookies" is an understatement. FYI - Cookies FREEZE GREAT! Usually just after Thanksgiving we will start making dough and freezing the dough. We then take our time baking and get to enjoy the smell throughout the Holidays will little effort cuz the dough is done. We've also dip lots...pretzels, peanutbutter ritz, fruit-loops, and almonds...beleive it or not we actually consume VERY LITTLE ourselves! I will send some of our favorite recipes to you at a later date! Ben loves our eggnog cookies, however I still love spritz.
Take care and travel safe over the Holidays!
Love Ben and Sheila
holy cow woman!! good for you! I am tired just looking at all that :-)
No mac and cheese or frozen pizza? You've come a LONG way!!
