Christmas Cookies

This is the time of year when all the baking gets done. I don't do a lot of baking anymore but our Pastor's wife has invited us to a coffee Saturday morning and we are supposed to bring a dozen Christmas cookies. So yesterday I baked a half batch and ended up with 25 cookies. Set aside the 12 best looking ones, my husband ate one, and gave the neighbor the other 12. She doesn't have sweets in the house because her husband is diabetic so she was quite happy to receive the cookies and I am not tempted to eat them myself.
