I did manage a batch of my jumbo snickerdoodles last weekend, but they weren't for Christmas -- just a BigDaddy treat. I think your ginger cookes and those snickerdoodles are my too favorites to bake and take to him. I'm a cookie binger too, so don't feel too badly. And there's NO way I could go without sugar, so I'm not even going to try LOL!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-72362613021674650232012-12-15T22:07:45.356-07:002012-12-15T22:07:45.356-07:00I wonder why you (and I) would crave a praline or ...I wonder why you (and I) would crave a praline or pecan cookie?

I've been minimizing sugar (not totally, but just limiting it and being conscious of it) but last week I was so hor.mon.al all I could think about was eating a praline. So I made some for the first time ever and ate 3 of them! They were soooooo good, but I think 3 was too much. :)Leslie https://www.blogger.com/profile/11216448707277968516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-74956383502020715832012-12-14T13:15:50.205-07:002012-12-14T13:15:50.205-07:00Christmas is my chance to try out new cookies and ...Christmas is my chance to try out new cookies and bake the old favorites too. Other times of the year I don't have anyone handy to serve them to, so I end up eating way more than 5. My husband sounds as self-controlled as yours - He likes about one cookie maybe 2x a week at the most. So I try to keep some in the freezer for him. I'm going to start today in earnest on my Christmas baking!GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-61489723458384075442012-12-14T11:51:02.586-07:002012-12-14T11:51:02.586-07:00I want a cookie.

I didn't grow up with a cookie tradition at Christmas, mostly we had Russian pastries but the years my mom "went American" and made cookies I enjoyed them all. I have cookie years and non cookie years around here. I think my favorites are melt in your mouth cookies...not crunchy. My kids enjoy snickerdoodles. Maybe I'll bake up a batch this year for them...ellen b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14531430948905935301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-14004096209624574842012-12-14T08:45:20.066-07:002012-12-14T08:45:20.066-07:00Thanks for all your cookie comments.
