Why My Feet Hurt
Today’s accomplishments:

* Actually made and taste-tested
Those are added to:
Lemon Sugar Coins
Spice Cookies
Nutmeg Sour Cream Cookies
Sugar Cookies
Plus, for my Mom’s birthday I made:
Carrot Cake cupcakes (with and without pecans)
No-bake Lemon Cheesecake
What I have left:
Bar cookies of multiple types
Walnut cookies
Rugelach
Anything else I decide looks good
What I am doing differently this year is making all the dough, scooping out balls for those cookies that are not shaped cookies, and the freezing the uncooked balls. This way, I can simply bake cookies as needed, giving me fresh cookies for the entire holiday season, instead of a freezer full of cookies that become more and more damaged as the holiday season progresses. (I scooped out the cookies, froze them on a cookie try, and then put them into ziplock bags.)
Of course I finished making all this cookie dough, and then decided that I was really in the mood for oreos. I did not, however, make any oreos.
