Christmas 2009 Baking Day
Can I just say, I am a COOKIE person! I love cake, pie, ice cream, and candy, but most of all I love cookies! So I get a little excited when this day rolls around each year. It’s quite chaotic with all the kiddos underfoot, and this year they really wanted to help (can’t blame them, but yuck), but we managed to get it all done. These are my favorite Christmas cookie recipes, and a few pictures of all the fun.
Christmas Oatmeal
Shortbread
Peanut Butter Blossoms
Emilee’s Chocolate Chip
Bear Claws (recipe posted here)
My mom showed me this book today and I absolutely loved it!
”COOPERATE means, How about you add the chips while I stir?“
Papa Ken helped the kiddos decorate sugar cookies.
My mom and Aunt Debbe were cookie machines! We mostly just cheered them on…
Such a sweet Aunt Kaelyn. Laney and Noah are totally captivated when she reads to them.

Recipes
Christmas Oatmeal Cookies
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cup oatmeal
Cream butter and sugar together. Add vanilla, then flour and oatmeal. Drop 1 inch balls onto cookie sheet and flatten with fingers. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes and dust with powdered sugar.
Shortbread
1 pound butter
4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
Cream butter and sugar together. Gradually add flour, mixing by hand and kneading until all the flour is gone. Roll out 1/2 inch thick on floured surface. Cut cookies into 1 inch by 2 inch bars, and place on cookie sheets. Prick with a fork. Bake in a 300 degree oven for 40 minutes. Take them out of the oven when they are a tiny bit browned on the edges.
Peanut Butter Blossoms
(hardly a recipe)
We used a tube of premade peanut butter cookie dough. Just roll 1 inch balls of dough in sugar, and bake according to directions on package. One minute before they are done, press a Hershey’s kiss in the middle and return to oven for one more minute.
