I'm not sure exactly what came over me. Nesting in the kitchen? I felt the need to spread my culinary love to friends and neighbors? In any case, I recently went on a very serious baking spree.
We're talking ten kinds of holiday treats made in one weekend.
I was obsessed. I made my list and gathered all of my ingredients. J was frightened when he saw what I was taking on. I had my trusty Mrs. Claus apron, and I was
ready to go!
A few photos of what I have dubbed
Christmas Cookie Extravaganza 2010!

| Supplies are gathered...let the baking begin! |
 |
| My grandmother's soft sugar cookies- soft and fluffy like muffin tops! Mmmm... |
 |
| Peanut Butter Blossoms- some of my favorites. Just FYI, all you bakers out there- if you run out of milk chocolate Kisses, don't use the dark chocolate ones as a substitute- they melt! |
 |
| Spritz cookies made with my favorite Christmas cookie tool- the Super Shooter! Thanks to my awesome MIL for giving me hers! |
 |
| Fantasy Fudge- 'nuff said. |
 |
| Chocolate Toffee Caramel bars- or as I call them, "Everything But the Kitchen Sink bars." We're talking chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, toffee bits, caramel...sinfully rich and beyond tasty. |
 |
| My Tupperware overfloweth. |
 |
| A finished tray for our friends the V's! |

And now, I am exhausted. I may not bake again until Christmas 2011.
Also- J and I will be eating cookies for weeks. But it's okay- I'm eating for two. We'll manage!
