Surviving Christmas Cookies

I love baking a variety of cookies every year. The planning is the most fun of all — I make spreadsheets with photos, timelines, recipe links, notes from last year, etc.

I started my planning this year, finding new recipes, having a great time, then realized I can’t do it — I can’t have all those cookies in the house. Sad face.

So my solutions are 1. Make lighter cookies, like meringues, or smaller ones, or nutrient dense ones, as long as they’re festive; 2. Include ingredients I can’t eat, like peanuts or hazelnuts; and 3. Plan (before I bake) to give most of them away to friends and family, maybe invest in some really cute baked good gift packaging, etc. I really don’t want to skip the baking entirely — it’s what keeps me in a good holiday spirit.

I’d love to hear your ideas, recipe suggestions, etc. Thanks!
