Pics now, explanations later. No time; pics will just have to stand on their own!

Drooly spritz

Burnt spritz

Note and cookie gun from my brother from a few years ago – I did buy the same one for myself, but I returned it

Vanilla spritz trees

Chocolate spritz

Pressed cookies I made with cookie stamps when the cookie gun gave up. Mark fixed it Saturday morning but we might not know till next year how effective the fix is.

Pffernuse – the bowl of dough seemed endless

Made all the gluten free peanut butter as stars instead of sandwiches because it’s quicker

New this year because I have a lot of almond paste – almond crescents dipped in chocolate. Pretty and fun to make. Keeper, I think
And that’s not counting Sunday, ruggelach and bar cookies.
And somewhere’s in there, Saturday afternoon, I think, I made the Rose’s Crescents, and what I am now calling pecan snowballs, trying to be culturally sensitive, avoiding other names with a country in them. Though Mark says the pecan lobby could come after me. They’ll go after Paula Deen first, I says.
