It’s the most wonderful time of the year 
Just made my lebkuchen (German gingerbread) dough for this year. It will sit in its bowl until December, when I bake off the cookies.
I’m not sure what else I’m planning for this year’s superbowl of cookies 
Last year’s big success story was Camilla Wynne’s fruitcake cookies so I’ll definitely be making those again.
What’re you planning?

My SO is Irish, and his family loves these Cadbury brownies. I’m lucky to be able to get them at the Irish shop in our neighborhood at a good price. So in addition to some traditional treats and cookies, I will be making two boxes of these for the kiddos.

Neat! I don’t know anything about these. Is the dough hard to work with after aging it that long? Like how sourdough starter can get liquidy. What recipe do you use?

My cookies delivery list of local friends got shorter by 3 due to moves (not planning to long distance mail), still 2 local deliveries planned. I’ll mail packages out of state to 5 families (relatives). I got a request for lemony stripes, and enthusiastic reactions to the apricot foldovers, so those are on the baking plan. I’ll get started around Nov 30 for cookies, earlier for N/A fruitcake featuring Brazil nuts.
