Christmas Cookies

A few years ago, I started baking large batches of cookies as a simple (and inexpensive) Christmas gift for my coworkers. What began as a gift for a few coworkers has now grown into a full 12-hour day dedicated to baking and packaging enough treats for everyone on my list. This year, I briefly considered skipping it because of how big the project has become—but cookie requests started rolling in as early as October!

On Sunday, I spent the entire day in the kitchen, putting my KitchenAid mixer to work and baking batch after batch of cookies. Every minute was worth it when I got to school and handed out the bags of homemade treats. It takes some preparation, but it’s such an easy and joyful way to spread holiday cheer. There is still time to do some baking for friends, coworkers, or family! Do a variety of cookies or keep it simple with the classic chocolate chip! No matter what you choose, it’s gonna be a hit!

happy baking!
