Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with "C"

Here are some treats from our baking extravaganza... oh, if only you could taste them all!

The wonderful, damn, addictive Hats:

Boot Tracks (I'm not saying WHAT it looks like you stepped in, but it does taste pretty darn good):

Scottish shortbread: flour, sugar, butter. That's all that needs to be said.

Pecan tartlettes that my mom had to wing the recipe for, but they still turned out quite nicely:

Cranberry, pistachio, almond macaroons. Something went a little funny on the recipe, but that did not - I repeat did NOT - keep me from eating more than my fair share:

This isn't even all of the stuff we made.... All in all we had about 50 dozen cookies, and most of them went away to friends & family. We used about 12 lbs of butter, at least 5 lbs of sugar (brown and white), 3 dozen eggs, and a bunch of flour, vanilla, and nuts. It's all good. Happy holidays! (if you'd like any of these recipes, please let me know and I'll post them).

I'm so jealous at all of your holiday baking! I'm still trying to find the time to do a big bake-a-thon.
