Christmas Cookie Making

Last weekend we marked another Christmas Tradition off the check list.  We got our Christmas cookies made.  We have ate some and froze some for Christmas day.  It always takes a LONG time and a BIG mess to make these cookies with the kids.....but they live for it.  They LOVE it.....and, mess and all, I DO TOO!

We made 60 sugar cookies that the kids decorated, a bunch of chocolate chip cookies, some no bake oatmeal cookies....and still on the list to make are the thin mints with the ritz crackers.
