Cookie, Cookie, Cookie Starts With C!

I've been busy- heck, when am I not? This weekend was a whirlwind of flour, butter, and sugar, cellophane, waxed paper, and ribbons (oh my!). And, crazy me, I actually considered it RELAXING! So over the next few days- who am I kidding, I'll need into next week to catch up on my posts- I'll share my recipes for the delicious goodies pictured above. Out of my kitchen this weekend came a gingerbread cake with cream cheese icing, buttery brown sugar bites with toffee and pecans, lemon snowballs, coffee buttons, chocolate chip peanut butter cookies, almond bars, lemon-pecan refrigerator cookies, chocolate sables with espresso and sea salt, and butter cookies with cinnamon dots. This plate of treats headed off to AudioDad's workplace today and came back with just a few crumbs.
