As I am slowly putting away my Halloween decorations, I am stocking up on essentials for the next season. Cookie Season!

My oldest daughter is coming over on Friday and together we will get a jump on the cookie baking. The only thing is to decide: what goes on the list?

The hubbinator’s favorite of chocolate chocolate chip is a must.

I have a love of almond cookies.

My son and I fight for the sugar cookies (of course, there are multiple kinds made from Amish sugar cookies, Grandma’s sugar cookies, and roll out sugar cookies). Don’t judge, all will be made. Some will be frozen. And usually by the time I remember the frozen one my son has left me crumbs in a bag. Which I eat, because they’re sugar cookies.

I will also be making my favorite gingersnaps. Oddly enough, it is always a hunt in the grocery stores for the molasses. Which I’ve learned is now with the pancake syrups and when I selected the brand of choice, another shopper oohed and ahhed because molasses goes in gingersnaps, gingerbread, and pumpernickel bread.

We will also be making peanut butter blossoms, this time with Hersey’s kisses with almonds.

So what kind of cookie says Christmas to you?
