It’s cookie time

 Did Christmas baking this weekend 

Fruitcake cookies (surprisingly good even if you’re not a fruitcake fan)

I also made shortbread with brown sugar and crushed pecans, but don’t have a photo, it’s really fragile.

And mint meltaways, which I make every year, but this year I had to use “pastel gel food coloring” so they’re not as pretty 

And I made the traditional cut-outs 

Different recipe this year; it made three dozen or so instead of like six dozen, even with careful dough geometry 

And finally, an old Pennsylvania Dutch recipe called Slapjacks. Molasses, coconut, and pecans. It made a LOT and with my caution about my teeth I have to soak them in tea to eat them
