Cookie Extravaganza 2014!

Byerly's had a ridiculous sale on baking supplies last week.  A whole bunch of holiday baking essentials were only $1!  I couldn't resist picking up my limit, so I was forced to do some baking.  Luckily, my mom was just as excited as I was.  Parker and I went over there today to get our cookie on!  

 We set out to make 8 (eek!) different recipes!

No Bake Haystack Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Rolled Sugar Cookies with Icing

Peanut Blossoms

Oatmeal Carmelitas

Gingerdoodles

Peanut Butter Ritz Cookies

Laurie's Cookies (sugar cookie with cream cheese frosting)

Fear no dough!

I was most looking forward to the Gingerdoodles.  I have been eyeing up this recipe for a couple years.  They turned out amazing and will be made many more times!

Once a cookie thief, always a cookie thief!

And, 6ish hours later, we are finished.  Not sure the exact count, but I am guessing we made somewhere around 325 cookies!  I mad up a few plates for my parents to take to their work places, a plate for a neighbors, and a big tray for my work.  Whew, I was ready to sit down after that!

My mom sent most of the cookies home with me so I also put together a few gift boxes for Parker's teacher and therapists.

It was such a fun day, we may have to make this an annual tradition!  Are you doing any holiday baking this year?  What are your favorite recipes?
