Chocolat: Just read your recipe. Does sound like it'll make gazillion cookies! I just found this recipe for peppernuts. This man who giave it to me said it was passed down in his family. I really want to try it but couldn't find citron and small package of clove yesterday. I'll put up my recipes later. I've narrowed down to 3 types of cookies for Xmas gifts.
Ortho: Rather than lard, use shortening. Still unhealthy though. |

Christmas cookies! Yes, they're actually called Christmas cookies, hehe. They're supposed to taste like fruit cake cookies. Someone once gave me some and I thought it was good. Sadly, these don't taste like it.
 I'm a bit disappointed but the teachers will just have to eat them, hehe. Gonna take a break, put these into a jar. I'm baking two more types tomorrow then off they go on Thursday! |

By the way, someone tasted the "Christmas Cookies," and she thought they were good.

Wow, that is one massive amount of beautiful Christmas baking! It looks delicious - you know it will all disappear in a flash.

Two tiring days, and that's with my sister's help. Oh yeah, my mom helped me chop the ingredients in the "Christmas cookies." She must've have felt sorry for me because I was taking forever to chop the candies. I ate one or two of each types and that was enough. I made these for my nephew's teachers and staff at the school. I remember having only 1 teacher when I was in elementary school. My nephew has one main teacher, 2 music teachers, 2 P.E. teachers and an assistant, and an art teacher. This year, he also an small group reading teacher. I also give to the principal, assistant principals, counselor, librarian, nurse, and a big box for the front office. I'm always harrassing the receptionists and there are these 3 ladies who help the children get off the car when parents drop them off in the morning. I feel that teachers get gifts from students, but the staff has no one to show them appreciation. Anyways, yeah, that's why I always make so much cookies. The teachers at first would thank my nephew's parents (hehe...meaning my brother and his wife). But now, by the third year, they know it's me who make the cookies so they thank me. This one teacher would tell me they're yummy and stuff and that makes me happy. I don't mind being tired a few days in a year when it's appreciated. Well, I make cookies for teacher appreciation week too.
 This year, I made a total of 17 boxes of cookies. The cookies you see is just enough for 17 boxes of cookies. I would've liked to fill more but ran out of time, and energy, to make more cookies.

Minifobette has a teacher, two aides, and a speech therapist at school, plus 6 more therapists at private therapy. Then back at school there's Minifob's teacher, plus the nurse, special ed coordinator, librarian, and counselor, each of whom spend personal one-on-one time with one or both of my kids. I didn't even bother with the rest of the staff who only interact with them the same amount they interact with all the other students. (For the record, I made glatt's wife's awesome spiced nuts for all of them. They've become a yearly tradition at our house, and everyone I give them to always raves about them.) |

If you liked reading about them, you should try putting them in your mouth.

I just read the recipe, or rather, looked at the instructional pictures (the best kind in my opinion
) and it sounds absolutely wonderful. I will try this. I know a number of people who love nuts. Gonna buy some nuts and clove tomorrow.
