Christmas cookies

I love making Christmas cookies. There are some kinds of cookies that I only make at Christmas time. I must be crazy, but I love doing it. I don't always make them to give away. I have in the past and it was so much work making large batches of cookies. This year I am making most of them just because I want them. I am making peanut butter cookies to take to the ward Christmas party. I plan on making gingerbread cookies, spritzes, biscotti, my grandma Louise's special chocolate cookies, and of course the sugar cookies the kids will help me decorate. I made chocolate chip cookies a few days ago, and I dipped pretzels in white chocolate on Wednesday. I need to make cinnamon rolls, and homemade chocolates. Maybe toffee and caramel corn will be added to the list. I think I might have to go to the store to get enough supplies, even though I always keep certain baking essentials in the house at all times. I know it seems like a lot of stuff to make, but it helps the time go by faster. This is the perfect time of year, since this baby really makes me want desserts. I feel like I can get away with eating said desserts because I am pregnant and I am suppose to gain weight anyway. I just won't know if it is baby weight or dessert weight. There is a certain amount of freedom that comes with that thinking. I hope to get everything made. May the rest of the Christmas preparations go as well.
