I'm a cookie baking fool. I usually have 2 ovens going. I start baking the day after Thanksgiving. I usually try to empty my chest freezer in October.
The year before last I bought 50 lbs of flour, 25 lbs of powdered sugar, 25 lbs of granulated sugar, 10 lbs of brown sugar, 10 lbs of semisweet chocolate chips, 10 lbs of milk chocolate, 8 lbs of peanutbutter, 5 lbs of oatmeal, 15 lbs of pecans, 2 liters of bourbon and 4 lbs of sugar wafers, a real assortments of flavoring agents.
The sugar wafers are for the bourbon balls, they are too much trouble to bake myself only to grind them up.
My husband thinks I am nuts but I love the doing of it, and a house never smells more like a home than when there are cookies in the oven.
I don't do gingerbread though, I despise the smell of mollases.
I come from a huge family and everybody gets a cookie assortment for Christmas as do my neigbors, my co-workers and many of my husbands business associates.
You could probably get on my Christmas list if you were very nice to me.
ROFLOL! I am at your service Ma'am. lol! The only thing as good as fresh cookies baking is homemade bread.
How do you use the sugar wafters in bourbon balls? I have never heard of that before.
