For many years, we had ‘Cookie Day’ at Mom’s. Six of us, give or take, would descend on her kitchen (2 ovens; big table to use!) and in about 6 hours get all, and I mean ALL of the cookie baking done for the season.

Everything went on the covered pool table in the basement, then we’d walk around and fill our tins and boxes and bins and it would be DONE! Any leftovers went to our local Food Pantry and Mom always took a big platter of cookies to Church.

I was in charge of the Spritz, so I know Spritz! Great topic, great memories.

‘Cookie Day’ is no more. We’ve lost a few of our key members (natural causes) and NONE of us need as many cookies to share as we once did. I’ve been kind of missing it, but not enough to start up the tradition again! ;)

My mother-in-law used to make enough cookies, several different kinds, for all 5 of her kids and other relatives. She still makes the best chocolate chips I’ve ever had, but she’s no longer able to do quite as much as she used to.
