I quit making and giving baked cookies to everyone years ago. I have five recipes, chocolate chip, oatmeal/cranberry, snicker doodles, peanut blossom and Mexican wedding cake cookies that I make dough and freeze into balls every year for Christmas for . I make all of the dough in one or two evenings after work for around eight people. The cookies are ready to bake (the peanut blossom cookies have the Hershey kisses included) when ever the recipient chooses. My Mom and Mother-in-law no longer do much cooking and bake a couple of cookies at a time in their toaster ovens. I keep my stash of cookie dough in a chest freezer and what ever is left around Easter gets baked and included with the other deserts. I'm adding the “salty-sweet butter pecan cookies” this year.
