Day 347 - December 12

Christmas. The time of year when I pretend I like to bake in order to have gifts to give friends. That's not entirely fair... I do enjoy my Christmas baking, but only because I like giving cookies away.

My serious baking started last night, even though it wasn't the start of my real Christmas baking. I'm so far behind this year that I haven't gotten to that yet (and there will be a lot fewer kinds of cookies this year... an infant is cramping my style). But we had a cookie exchange at MOPS today, so I had to make 10 dozen cookies so I could share. Thankfully, this shortbread recipe makes a ton and is EASY!!

This was the start of the almost 11 dozen I made last night!
