I said I wouldn't go crazy with baking this year but I think I'm going to anyway. Tonight I'm baking cookies for people at my work and my DH's employees.
I'm making
Black and White cookies
Thumbprint cookies with raspberry filling and dark chocolate drizzle
gingerbread cookies with buttercream frosting
and chocolate chocolate chip
Re: What are you baking?
Mmmm that sounds so good!
I suck in the kitchen, so I'm only good for things like Oreo Truffles. Yummy.
I've already made and am trying to give away
Kolache
Peanut Butter Fudge
Mint Chocolate Fudge
Chocolate Fudge
Gingerbread cookies
Sugar Cookies
Usually there would also be some Peanut Butter Cups and more cookies. I limited myself this year. If it doesn't all fit in the designated containers then I can't make more.
mini loaves of pumpkin bread
molasis cookies
peanut butter cookies
I am giving them to my aunts, cousins and co workers
I baked with my family this weekend. We made:
gingerbread men
sugar cookies
cranberry white chocolate chip cookies
mint chocolate cookies
shortbread cookies
no-bake cookies
fudge
peanut brittle
DH really wants snickerdoodles so I might crank some of those out later this week. Other than that, I'm done.
I'm so behind on everything this year.
So far I've only made those walnut bars (so cool no baking needed!)
And I have tough sitting in my fridge for gigner bread cookies which I need to finish tonight. Then I still have jelly filled rolls to make and I dont know, something else... Not sure what yet. DH is working on Friday and I"m off, so I think there will be a baking frenzy going on
baking? You mean standing in the kitchen? For more time than it takes to shovel food on my plate?
How does that answer your question
Lol. I will be making Chex Mix and Bacon Wrapped Water Chesnuts for our Christmas party and that's the only extra cooking/baking I can handle this year. DH has been awesome in making dinner pretty much every night. On my cooking nights I'm paying for takeout in most cases
Since I am on bed rest my mom is coming over with my brother tonight and we are making cookies at my house but without me having to worry about all the hassle (and the clean up!).
We are making chocolate chip, spritz, oatmeal raisin, sugar, and peppermint bark. Yum yum!

I want to make:
Magic cookie bars
Chocolate Salted Caramel cookies
Pumpkin bread
Chocolate pecan pie
However, I don't need all the sugar/calories (I'm still below my pre-pg weight and I'd like to keep it that way), my mom is on a diet, my dad and sister are diabetic and Hubby could stand to lose 50lbs so we'll see how much actaully gets made.
