Cookies, cookies and more cookies

These are the cookie platters I'm delivering to the boys' teachers for Christmas. I'm also adding a little gift certificate to Barns and Noble. I never know what to do for the teachers, they deserve so much, but I don't have a lot to give.....
I've been doing some baking....This was one day, I didn't take pictures of day two...just think double what you see here.

Aren't these cute! I made a peppermint cream cheese filling for these guys.


Cranberry shortbread cookies for the cookie exchange party a neighbor is giving this Saturday.





We decorated gingerbread men the other day, and yes, I got a little naughty with one of them (OK, OK, I know I'm a bad influence on my children). So Jason said, "Mommy's mind is in the gutter" and Jake says, "No, YaYa's mind is in the gutter" (that would be Jason's mom----hahahaha) She'll laugh when I tell her....



"No Daddy, I haven't been eating any of the cookies"













my very own goofball! I'm blessed....and I'm not even being sarcastic!

Nice cookies! I am so glad I didn't go crazy with teacher gifts this year as I can't even pass them out! (school's closed.) Maybe just the card will suffice, after the holidays....

Great looking cookies. I think you should post recipes for the cream-cheese filled ones and the cranberry shortbread!

Your swirly cookies look SO yummy! And the platters for the teachers will be very appreciated. Looks like everyone had a great time decorating.

We fell behind on cookie baking this year. We'll just have 3 or 4 kinds instead of the usual 8 or so. But everything else is done so I feel pretty good.
