What is the one thing you *have* to bake or make every year? For me, probably caramels. They are a pain in the butt to wrap, but taste so good!! I also usually make cutout cookies, because everyone loves them (even though I think they are gross .
I will be making Cranberry Apple Walnut Bread, Pumpkin Bread, and Zucchini Bread in mini loaf pans to give as gifts to the neighbors and co-workers. I am also making some assorted cookies-hello dollies, and some sort of oreo marshmallow bars.
We make a Christmas Lobster sugar cookie.nbsp; It started as a joke because I had found a lobstershaped cookie cutter and bought it why wouldn't you buy something that awesome? and my first chance to use it was while baking Christmas cookies that year.nbsp; We've made a lobster every year since and he always gets nicely decorated and displayed on our Christmas cookie tray.
We get a lot of requests for our pomegranatenbsp;clusters and our rum balls, so we usually make those every year too.nbsp;
Pomegranate clusters? How do you make those? They sound delicious.

Oh, Jesus. Too much. White chocolate chip cookies for my dad and coworkers, white chocolate covered pretzels for my sister, fudge for my mom, and usually a pumpkin cheesecake for me ... I mean my coworkers! Dammit. I love a good cheesecake.

I have a lobster shaped cookie cutter too!
I bake a ton. I have 4 bake days. Plus I bake on my own. My SIL and MIL and I bake dutch letters, Oreo truffles, thumbprints, Russian tea cakes, and spritz. I make gingerbread houses, caramels, star of Bethlehems and sugar cookies with my mom. With my coworker we make tarts and shortbread. I like to make rum balls and cheesecake truffles.
I usually make cranberry almond bark and pretzel wreaths (tiny pretzel twists dipped in chocolate almond bark w/ sprinkles and cooled in the shape of a wreath). the last couple years I made oreo truffles. Every year we do Christmas Candy with my aunt, mom, and grandma but she's in Florida this year so I don't know if we're doing it.
